What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreI look up to leaders who’ve taken major losses yet rebuilt stronger figures like Howard Schultz, who rose from poverty to build Starbucks. Walt Disney, who went bankrupt before creating an empire and Daymond John, who turned setbacks into global success. Their determination mirrors the mindset I bring to my work.
How do you stay motivated?My motivation comes from the mission behind my work. I remind myself daily that what I’m building has the potential to protect animals, support communities, and solve real‑world problems. That purpose keeps me disciplined, focused, and willing to push through challenges.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to complete our functional prototype, including finalizing the microchip design, testing durability and accuracy, and preparing for pilot deployment with partner shelters and veterinary clinics.
