Vicky: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Dapper Boi is a body-inclusive clothing line that my wife, Charisse, and I started in 2015. We're partners in business and in life and have five-year-old twin girls. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to affordable, stylish clothes that fit both their body, and, more importantly, their personality. We believe changing your clothes can change your life.
Pritvik: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Throughout my community, I've witnessed colossal ecological upheavals caused by premeditated environmental negligence. Our climate crisis stakeholders are not just scientific communities, but also global policy leaders and the public. Aiming to decode detrimental effects of anthropogenic climate change on current species and to create comprehensible predictive frameworks to stem today's calamities, I launched ‘Network and Assembly Theory Models of Mass Extinctions.’ The challenge was to decrypt atmospheric data and fossil records via mathematical models, detect molecular signatures of future mass extinctions, pinpoint stressors that aggravate disasters, spot species affected by this degradation, and constrain impact of catastrophes on biodiversity.
Christy: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Davinci is an underwearable health and wellness platform. Our goal is to maximize health and wellness performance for girls and women by combining measurements from our AI-powered hardware with advice from mentor-mentee relationships and automated and guided coaching. Our hardware combines a small sensor woven into clothing (underwear!) backed by the power of cloud computing / AI. Managing human-powered peak performance is unsolved and is a concern for women from puberty to menopause. Understanding temperature fluctuations in relation to other vitals, assessing reduction of injury during physical activity, and managing cycle and hormonal health for risk assessment across age are huge pain points.
