WHAT INSPIRED HIM TO DO THIS?
He was bitten by a snake in a hut in West Africa, because he couldn’t see it, as

lights to people in poverty, as he did not want them to experience similar
situations due to poor lighting.

His process to starting his company was relatively smooth as, after banding
together with some fellow-enthusiasts at Stanford, their light was meet with
overwhelming response.

problem of poverty. Although he did not go through many challenges except at
