Trisha Prabhu was featured with her business, ReThink, when she was just 16 years old. She could not drive herself to the set, yet she had coded an app that would allow for a pop up message on a phone whenever key words are triggered suggesting cyber bullying. By the time she was featured on shark tank Trisa had also been invited to the white house, awarded by google, given numerous TED talk, and had been contacted by a phone carrier company about her product. On the show she was able to close a deal with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. The idea behind the app is that an individual would be attempting to leave a mean message on someone’s post, or text something mean. When this happens they will receive a pop up asking if they are sure they would like to proceed. Trisia claims that this small moment of reflection caused 93% of messages to be reworded in a nicer, more uplifting way. Trisha states on her website that she has reached over 1500 schools, 500,000 downloads, 5 million students impacted and over 1.1 million TED talk advocacy. Trisha is a very motivated young entrepreneur. All you have to do is watch Shark Tank season 8 episode 1 and you will agree with me! She has some big plans for this business, and I’m sure that she will do very well.
Wow, this girl really has a great background and idea that work together to help the greater good. This such a great product to discourage cyberbullying. They explained that 93% of the people changed or modified their message which is just amazing having people to stop and look at what they are saying.
This is awesome! She knew there had to be change with the epidemic of cyberbullying and found a way to do it!
