Finalist in AlwaysOn "Clean technology" competition

2 Billion people in the world currently live without access to electricity. They rely on kerosene and candles for their lighting needs. These sources of light are expensive, hazardous and polluting. We believe that in an era of unprecedented technological growth, we can bring light, safety and prosperity to millions of hardworking households. We want to make kerosene lanterns a part of history, where they belong.

Business model

Sell high volumes of very affordable light and power products to underserved customers without access to reliable power.

'Changing the world, one light bulb at a time.' What a great concept for the Third World but also for energy savings in first world countries, as well

Bravo!

Fantastic venture. Every time I see a pitch like this one I wish that I had had the idea myself first - simply put, the benefit trifecta of business start-ups: A huge and verifiably existing market, a straightforward product addressing the needs and promising tremendous economies of scale, and yet a socially conscious endeavor that makes this world a better place while returning a healthy profit. Good luck; I truly hope this one makes it!
