TandemLaunch is an early-stage startup incubator and venture fund that turns research from the world's best universities into high-growth startup companies in the consumer electronics space. At TandemLaunch, I worked to develop early stage biosensor and human computer interaction technologies into investment opportunities for the fund.

In 2011, I co-founded Moral Fibers, an ethical e-commerce clothing company that gave artists in the developing world a full-time job creating art for fashion. With Moral Fibers, we won McGill University's Dobson Cup business plan competition and $15,000, and went on to raise a seed round of $150,000 from angel investors. At Moral Fibers, I managed a team of 5 full-time employees in the US and 16 employees in Haiti, built and managed an international product production system that spanned four countries (China, Haiti, the US, and Canada), and worked extensively in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After 20 months, my partner and I dissolved Moral Fibers in order to further pursue our studies at McGill University. During that time, we significantly helped 16 Haitian artists and their families out of poverty and into steady employment and education.

In January of 2010, I co-founded Developing Pictures, a student non-profit media organization, after traveling to Haiti six weeks after the country's devastating earthquake. Developing Pictures was founded with the mission to produce promotional videos to help fundraise for exceptional non-profit organizations worldwide. At Developing Pictures, I produced videos for the International Medical Corps, Haiti Partners, The Haiti Clinic, Grassroots United, Rebuild Globally, and several other aid organizations. After procuring aerial footage of Port-au-Prince, we worked with the United Nations damage assessment team to map the damage in the city. Developing Pictures launched student chapters at Cornell University, Oxford University, and McGill University, and I personally served as co-chair of the McGill University chapter and grew the group to over 50 participants.
