After an invigorating round of two dozen 45-second pitches, we were delighted to be in the company of two inspiring finalists:
Sunny Money, an offshot of SolarAid that aims to eradicate kerosene lanterns from Africa, replacing them with a broad range of solar lights, and ValueForm, which could make supermarket shelves more sustainable with straw-based fruit and vegetable cartons that will actually be more affordable than petro-plastics.
The three finalists had the chance to present our businesses in a bit more detail, and field thoughtful questions from the competition judges and the audience. We were happy to encounter widespread interest in Loowatt’s mission.
