Jessica Matthews is the co-founder and CEO of Uncharted Play, Inc., which is describes itself as a company that intends to "connect the world through playful social invention." So far, Uncharted Play makes a soccer ball that, after 30 minutes of play, can power a reading lamp for three hours, and also makes a jump rope that, after 15 minutes of use, can provide a 50 percent recharge of a smartphone. Thus, in one fell swoop, Uncharted Play promotes increased physical activity and renewable energy.
Matthews is only 26 and has an undergraduate degree and an MBA from Harvard. The child of Nigerian immigrants, Matthews is part of a new generation of minority entrepreneurs who are tech savvy, creative marketers, and socially conscious. It should be fun to watch her attempt to build her business and change the world.
