You’ll learn exactly what went into a $165k+ raise for a sustainable, innovative product that’s racking up news headlines.
In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, Salvador Briggman sits down with Sudeshna Naik, co-founder of The Pin, a luxury wooden wireless earbud with built-in AI translation.
Sudeshna shares how her background in computer science and sustainable product development at UC Berkeley led her to challenge the perception that eco-friendly products are “second class.”
