Anna Stork is the co-founder of Shark Tank featured startup LuminAID, an innovative new solar company that makes a solar-rechargeable, inflatable lantern that packs flat and inflates to create a lightweight, waterproof light that’s safe, sustainable, and portable.    Their mission to make light more sustainable and affordable for everyone with their roots focused on disaster relief. LuminAID has currently been used in more than 70 countries after disasters including Hurricane Sandy and the devastating earthquakes in Nepal.   On this episode we chat with Anna on how she was a problem solver from a young age, where the idea for LuminAID came from and how they were able to start and build the company.   Links mentioned in episode: LuminAID This podcast is sponsored by Vestigo and produced by Force Media.

Two young entrepreneurs, Andrea Shreshta and her cofounder Anna Stork, won $200,000 from Mark Cuban, along with his mentorship, on “Shark Tank” for their solar powered inflatable light, LuminAID. And they have grown in leaps and bounds since. How did they do it? Developed in response to the massive earthquake in Haiti, LuminAID was born out of the need they saw for one of life's basic necessities – light. Hear about their process, their funding and how they won “Shark Tank” in this engaging discussion with host Joan Michelson from the ARPA-E 2015 Innovation Summit. (This was recorded when our show was called Green Connections Radio.) What can you learn from their process?

Andrea Sreshta and Anna Stork, founders of LuminAID, were offered deals from all five of the investors on ABC’s Shark Tank earlier this year; they successfully closed a deal with Mark Cuban. Perhaps what made them both different and successful on the show, was a focus on social entrepreneurship, a double bottom-line that balances making a profit with having an impact for good. Their solar lights are not only terrific for camping, but perfect for long-term use in areas without power and great for use when power can’t be relied upon for evening studies. One of their largest customers is ShelterBox, featured here a few weeks ago. Sreshta explains, “LuminAID’s core technology–solar lights that pack flat for ease of distribution– was created to address both the need in an emergency and to make it easier for aid workers to distribute supplies on the ground.” She adds, “We have learned a lot from working with our NGO customers and partners like Shelterbox. They put out our lights into some of the toughest areas and situations in the world, so we like hearing from them about what worked, what worked less well, and how we can continue to support their efforts.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.
