Simple, Sustainable, Innovative. How did you come up with the idea for this product? For me, a moment of curiosity while visiting my grandmother in middle school led to a discovery that would change my life. When I was 12 years old, I was visiting my grandmother in India and accidentally drank some unfiltered tap water. I started to panic, worried that I would get sick. My grandma calmly gave me a "spice tea" that was a home remedy that had been used in our family for generations. After I didn't get sick, I became curious about how and why it might have worked. When I got home to the US, I started a middle school science project to learn more -- adding the spices to jars of dirty pond water! I began to observe that the jars with spices weren't growing mold, and a trip to the grocery store inspired me to to start dipping strawberries in my spice mixture. After spending most of my high school years as the weird kid rotting strawberries in my garage, I developed and patented FreshPaper, which is infused with spices that naturally inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. Today, I often wonder what would have happened if I hadn't tried my grandma's mixture, or if I had dismissed it as too simple. I've come to realize that FreshPaper is powerful precisely because it's so simple – it can be used by anyone, in any part of the world, and can help take on global food waste and hunger. What makes your product special? FreshPaper is a sheet of paper infused with organic spices - no zeolite, no sodium permanganate, no charcoal, and absolutely no plastic! ​​Using FreshPaper is hassle-free - there are no refills or bags to wash. FreshPaper is also remarkably effective, keeping produce fresh 2-4x longer due to its unique mechanism of action. FreshPaper’s organic ingredients inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, as well as enzymes that cause over-ripening. Originally designed for the developing world, FreshPaper is low-cost, simple to use, and good for the Earth. (FreshPaper is recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.) Every sheet purchased helps get FreshPaper to those who need it most! What has been the best part of your startup experience? For years, I had tried and failed to get FreshPaper to the developing world - to places like my grandmother's village in India. I didn't realize how hard it could be to give something away for free! I started to think that FreshPaper was simply a child's idea with no real-world applications, and I gave up. Although as a child, I believed that I had discovered something that could help millions and take on global hunger, as I grew up, my mind started to tell me that I was not enough to bring my invention to the world. Like many young women, I mentally replayed all of the times I was told that I needed more experience, more degrees, more money, more than I had and more than I was. But over the years, I couldn't stop thinking about FreshPaper. So one Sunday morning, almost in an act of surrender, I took FreshPaper to my local farmer's market. The greatest challenge was to take that first step, to overcome my own fears and doubts to share my idea with the world. I could never have imagined what would happen next: that a grassroots movement would rise up to take FreshPaper far beyond that farmer's market to people like Oprah and Richard Branson, that hard work guided by faith and intuition mattered more than a business plan, and that FreshPaper would one day be used by farmers and families across the globe.
