Startup Digest - Enterprise - July 30th

Enterprise July 30, 2017 Hi everyone, We had a great fireside chat with Privahini Bradoo, the Founding CEO at BlueOak and Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum's Global Council on Advanced Materials, during which she shared some alarming stats with us: every day, U.S. consumers dispose of enough cell phones to cover 50 football fields. Although between 7% and 10% of the world's gold and 30% of the silver produced goes into electronics, only 15% of the 50 million tons of e-waste created globally each year undergoes any recycling. Instead, the vast majority of devices are dumped in landfills or exported to countries where e-waste is hand-picked over open fires. Hopefully we can raise further awareness on this issue and continue to see companies solving some of our biggest issues like Blue Oak emerging. Our next event coming up next Tuesday will be hosting Tracy Young, CEO and Co-Founder at PlanGrid (YC W12), Nancy Hua, CEO and Co-Founder of Apptimize (YC S13), and Anu Hariharan, Partner at Y Combinator. Sign up here to join us and hear their insights and lessons learned during their journey in entrepreneurship!
