Exhibits at White House Demo Day include:
BlueOak finds the treasure in trashed smartphones (Privahini Bradoo, San Francisco,
California) Every day, U.S. consumers throw away enough cell
phones to blanket 50 football fields. To Privahini Bradoo, people might as well
throw away their jewelry: one ton of cell phones contains as much gold as 70
tons of gold ore. Seeing a business opportunity, Bradoo founded BlueOak.
BlueOak is an electronics recycling firm that harvests the valuable precious
metals out of old smartphones and TVs. BlueOak is building low-cost and
environmentally friendly refineries to recycle critical metals from e-waste.
Their flagship refinery is located in Osceola, Arkansas. Born in India,
raised in Oman and New Zealand, and educated in Boston, Bradoo pulls from
diverse life experiences to lead her company and make a positive impact in the
world.
After a car accident left her blind for 11 years, Ramona Pierson
founded a company to build a new kind of search engine (Ramona Pierson, Palo Alto,
California)
In 1984, at age 22, Ramona Pierson was hit by a drunk
driver. The car tore her body apart, slicing open her throat, gouging her
chest, and leaving her heart and lungs fully exposed. Pierson was in a coma for
18 months. She was totally blind for 11 years, though she has regained partial
sight in her left eye thanks to a corneal transplant. It was the process of
having to learn just about everything from scratch – including how to breathe
and walk – that made her realize how important it was to be a lifelong learner.
And it's that notion that inspired her to start Declara. Declara has developed
a ways for people to learn in more personalized ways, through advanced semantic
search and predictive analysis. In three years, Declara has grown to 65
employees, and attracted $32.5 million in funding. Pierson also serves as a
mentor for LGBT entrepreneurs.

care delivery
(Tatyana Kanzaveli & Maksim
Tsvetovat, Los Altos, California) After being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013, Tatyana Kanzaveli
decided to found a company that could help others. The security of having

to start her own company. Open Health Network is a smart mobile health platform
that helps healthcare organizations, researchers, and patient advocate groups
create cutting-edge mobile applications that run on any device and in any
language in a day without coding. Application modules include patient surveys,

work, Ategeka earned a U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
award. In 2013, Ategeka teamed up with fellow University of California—Berkeley
graduate Anwaar Al-Zireeni to co-found Privail, a company that is
commercializing low-cost, early HIV detection technology developed by

the capabilities of a traditional baby monitor. Using their unique software, a
digital video camera, and non-invasive infrared technology, Cocoon Cam can
track a baby’s heart rate, respiration, and skin temperature from a distance.
Parents can stream video and wellness information to their smartphone to know
exactly what is going on with their baby’s health at any time. The Cocoon
Cam team was trained through the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps
(I-Corps) program.

Two veterans developed an app and website with skills learned at a
coding bootcamp to make new arrivals to military bases feel like locals (Billy Griffin and Tony Hatala, Denver,
Colorado) When new troops arrive at a military base with no
idea where to get a haircut or find an ATM, they load up the Base Directory
app. Founded by two military officers who met on deployment, Base Directory
helps service members and their families connect with resources on military
installations After the initial launch of the app, co-founder Billy Griffin
realized that, in order to take the company to the next level, they needed the
technical know-how to maintain the app and build a new website. So he enrolled
in Galvanize, a 12 week coding bootcamp that has made commitments to the
TechHire initiative, where he learned the programming skills to succeed as the
company’s Chief Technology Officer. The service saves people time and
frustration by getting them the information they need in a quick and
easy-to-use way. The company’s app and website provide a directory of
locations, phone numbers, and even movie show times for U.S. military bases
worldwide.

the business (as designers, managers, sewers, quality control experts, and even
models). Since launching and raising 15 times their original funding goal on an
online crowdfunding platform in 2013, the Sword & Plough team has
repurposed 30,000 lbs. of military surplus and has shipped over 7,000 bags and

and first responders walk into it (Francisco Aguilar & Carolina Aguilar, Boston, Massachusetts)
Francisco Aguilar came up with the idea for Bounce
Imaging’s ball-shaped camera after learning about challenges facing responders
during Haiti’s devastating earthquake in 2010. While there were some
fiber-optic cameras that could be used to search through rubble for survivors,
the equipment was expensive and required a skilled operator. Aguilar founded
Bounce Imaging to develop low-cost, throwable sensor units that provide
omnidirectional images of hazardous, unseen spaces and transmits them to a
user’s smartphone. The systems can be used by police officers and other first
responders to see around a corner, inside a compound, or down a tunnel or sewer
system. The company, based at the Harvard Innovation Lab, was named a Gold
Winner at MassChallenge, the largest startup accelerator in the world.
MIT team develops device to detect, predict, and prevent falls
amongseniors (Dina Katabi, Fadel Adib, and Zach Kabelac, Cambridge Massachusetts) Every year, 2.5 million elderly Americans are treated in
emergency rooms because of falls, costing over $34 billion annually. Emerald –
co-founded by Dina Katabi, an MIT professor and recipient of the MacArthur
“Genius” Grant, and two of her students, Fadel Adib and Zach Kabelac – uses
radio waves to detect seniors’ movements in the home. Using high-precision
radio sensors and data analytics, Emerald can detect breathing, heart rate, and
changes in gait with such detail that it may soon be able to predict declines
in health and increased risk of falling in advance. Because of this innovation,
Emerald can empower the elderly to live safely and independently. Fadel manages
Emerald's software development and algorithms and is a co-inventor of the
technology. He was named to Forbes "30 under 30" list for
Enterprise Technology. Zach leads Emerald's hardware design and is a
