The program, which has thus far run five times with various regional focuses, was won for the fifth time straight by a woman-led venture.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: var( --e-global-color-3ccbfb53 );\">Selecting the winner from the five incredible purpose-driven startups was by no means an easy task for the graduating impact investor cohort. This is where the biggest surprise of the evening took place\u2014for the first time ever, the newly trained impact investors decided to support not one but two impact ventures! In addition to choosing Viridis Research as the recipient of the $100,000 grand prize, the cohort rallied to also collectively award a special investment to Brave Technology Coop, the first-ever coop to be selected into the program.<\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: var( --e-global-color-3ccbfb53 );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">For Viridis Research, a cleantech company working on preventing microplastics from entering our water systems, the investment will be catalytic to getting their prototype to market and to drive strategic partnerships. Brave Technology Coop, on the other hand, is a company focused on preventing accidental overdose deaths, and the funding will help them to scale their production and geographic reach.<\/p><p

not only to human health, but also to that of the natural ecosystems that sustain life on this planet. However, it is projected that by 2050, the seas will contain more plastic than fish.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Microplastics are a significant contributor to this growing problem. Already, humans ingest over 50 thousand microplastic particles per year. The chemicals released from these cause cancer, infertility, and other genetic mutations. Microplastic contamination also disrupts ecosystem services, negatively impacting revenue generation for millions of people worldwide and resulting in annual losses of at least $8 billion per year.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">60% of microplastics found in our oceans come from greywater released from laundry and textile washing facilities. The synthetic fibres that are the source of this pollution also represent the main types of plastic polymers found within our bodies. This is where Viridis Research has chosen to begin their work towards building a world where clean water is accessible by all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-37c9705 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"37c9705\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-78dec5e\" data-id=\"78dec5e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e9d32e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3e9d32e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-84075\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-239x239.png 239w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e29a67\" data-id=\"3e29a67\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1161366 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1161366\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>THE SOLUTION<\/h5><p class=\"p1\">Fuelled by globally renowned expertise and inspired by personal experience, a love for water, and a belief in equitable access to fundamental resources, Viridis Research was founded to help ensure communities around the world can get safe, clean and sufficient water through electrochemical water treatment technologies.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Viridis has developed a patented technology\u2014VEOX\u2014to capture and destroy plastic microfibres at the primary source where they break off from synthetic materials and into laundry water when being washed. The VEOX device easily connects to washing machines, captures microplastic particles from the water, and degrades them into safe, non-toxic atmospheric gases. All of this is done with one device without the use of any disposable plastic cartridges or filters. The device is easy to use, requires zero maintenance, and uses no chemicals in the process, and is self-regenerating.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a914bd0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a914bd0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3db2df5\" data-id=\"3db2df5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d0047b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4d0047b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e95a513 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e95a513\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-86545\" alt=\"Viridis Research SDGs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2-239x239.png 239w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Copy-of-YVR-IIC-Pitch-Night-Sessions-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1192f56\" data-id=\"1192f56\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e1908e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e1908e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>THE IMPACT<\/h5><p class=\"p1\">VEOX removes 99% of microplastics smaller than 4mm from greywater upon treatment. With regulations arriving in North America and Europe to eliminate the release of synthetic fibres from washing machines, the time for this technology is now! In North America alone, 100M+ washing machines will need to be retrofitted.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Viridis is projecting that by 2030, the VEOX system will prevent 130 tons of microplastics from entering the oceans, and it will also prevent the use of 350 tons of plastic cartridges and the emission of 2100 tons of CO\u2082. What\u2019s more, the filtration system also has the potential to address the presence of bacteria, viruses, and persistent organics that contaminate water.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">As a company, Viridis Research is committed not only to making a positive impact on the environment and health through its products, but also on communities, responsible urban development, and inequality reduction through how they build their team and develop partnerships towards fulfilling their mission.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6618f2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a6618f2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c98aaba\" data-id=\"c98aaba\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d436a37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d436a37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Brave Technology Coop<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-28c604a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"28c604a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1233df2\" data-id=\"1233df2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc27438 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"fc27438\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46c3d55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"46c3d55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gotcare.ca\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-300x273.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-85793\" alt=\"Brave Coop logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-71x65.png 71w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo-263x239.png 263w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brave-Coop-logo.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-167de55\" data-id=\"167de55\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6066041 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6066041\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>OVERDOSE DEATH PREVENTION<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>HQ: <\/strong>Vancouver, British Columbia<br \/><strong>FOUNDER: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff5f52;\"><a style=\"color: #ff5f52;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/gordonwcasey\/?originalSubdomain=ca\">Gordon Casey<\/a><\/span><br \/><strong>INDUSTRY: <\/strong>Health, Safety &amp;

After COVID-19, it is the most prevalent cause of unnatural death.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Where do most overdose deaths occur? In Vancouver, British Columbia, Brave found that 50% of overdose deaths happen in supportive housing. Not only is addressing an overdose death traumatic for those involved, it also incurs economic costs related to compulsory leave for staff and legal fees related to long-term staff turnover in supportive housing facilities.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">While an overdose reversal drug\u2014Naloxone\u2014exists, it is not effective if it cannot be administered in time. Additionally, existing solutions such as physically supervised consumption services and drug use prevention have not proven effective for 99% of people at risk. Detection is therefore the missing tool in the fight against overdose death.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">To solve this problem, Brave has spent over four years engaging deeply with communities most impacted by overdose: individuals who use drugs, those who respond to overdose, and those who serve individuals at risk of overdose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-268a90d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"268a90d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8d8070\" data-id=\"f8d8070\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba47e6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ba47e6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-84075\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1-239x239.png 239w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Website-Elements-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ac41bb\" data-id=\"9ac41bb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b76c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66b76c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>THE SOLUTION<\/h5><p class=\"p1\">Founded on principles of design justice to bring the right overdose detection tools to the right people, Brave Technology Coop is on a mission to prevent accidental overdose death and envisions a word where every overdose is reversed and their tools are available to individuals who use drugs and the various entities that serve them.
