Founder and CEO of “Oxie”, Sarah Tulin, created a revolutionary new product that is the first wearable air purifier. Sarah knew air pollution was a problem and “the greatest environmental threat to global health.” She wanted to be able to help with the air pollution problem that was especially significant in cities. One day, Sarah says she was hit by a cloud of bus smoke while going to work, and that’s when she came up with the idea of “Oxie” . Oxie fits under a shirt collar and purifies the air that the wearer is breathing. Oxie uses advanced aerodynamic technology to deliver the purified air, and even proctets from smoke, allergens, and even germs! Sarah noticed a problem with unclean air, and exploited it by coming up with an idea to solve the problem (not solve entire issue) to make money. She is an ideal example of a successful entrepreneur.
Hopefully pollution doesn’t get bad enough in the U.S. to the point where many people would need this product, but for places like China, this is pretty great. It will be interesting to see if a lot of people in Chinese cities start using these devices.
^^^ In response to this, I like how she noticed a small problem that may become a bigger problem. Its really great sight toward the future. It may seem like a little issue now and the market isn’t there, but if she takes this product and perfects it, it’ll be a perfect product when the market for it grows
