Great news from the d.light team! This group of d.school alumni from last year's Design for Extreme Affordability class have taken their project the next step, starting a company around their d.light product. Yesterday, they got a huge boost, winning the DFJ Venture challenge to the tune of $250,000. Congratulations!
Earlier this quarter, and after just two weeks of work, CIA-KGB
students launched their solutions to help Mozilla attract and retain
users of Firefox. Actually, it wasn't really two weeks -- it was eight
working days and four weekend days. As you'll see by clicking through
on the URL's, below, each team of four students accomplished an
incredible amount of work. When was the last time you went from zero
knowledge in a subject area to putting something real and working in to
the world in just two weeks? While working the equivalent of three or
four other full-time jobs?
Here they are -- check 'em all out!
It's important to note that these were only a launch and not a final deliverable. We've been tracking the progress and performance of each project over the entire quarter.
