In this interview, I speak to Ann Pham about how she went from seeing a massive problem in the world of single use plastics, and how she took action to get started.

She speaks directly about her experience with the Hacker Exchange - a program where she travelled to San Francisco to learn about startups. It was there she learned about rapid prototyping and getting her product out to the world quickly.

We talk about:

  • How she built her initial prototype (hint: it involves a car)
  • Her journey to finding a manufacturer
  • The problem she's solving by providing single use banana leaf plates

I hope you enjoy the episode!
