Lambent Data & the Mercer County Reentry Coalition highlighted our collaboration at the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber (PMRC) Pitch Stop on February 13, 2025. Thanks again very much to the PMRC (including Hal English, Christine Curnan, Amy Rosica, Rebecca Uhrik & colleagues) for organizing this wonderful event! And many thanks to the Grounds For Sculpture (including Karen Hollywood & colleagues) for hosting such a lovely event & collaborating with the Chamber on this!
The event marked a year since we at Lambent Data, Inc. won this pitch competition! The Chamber kindly invited us back for a display table, to share updates about our work & impact! Lambent’s Co-founder & CEO Kirsten Hund Blair was delighted to attend with Seyi Ola, VP at JPMorganChase, who co-leads the Mercer County Reentry Coalition (MCRC) with Jeannette Rizk, Exec. Director of WorkWell Partnership. Lambent Data & MCRC have been partnering for Lambent’s software OurREACH™ to be used by the MCRC & other fellow MCRC member organizations to equip people who are reentering the community from prison/jail & also equip the social services and other organizations that are helping them in this process, including with job readiness. Kirsten & Seyi (pictured at the table) enjoyed talking with numerous attendees.
Congratulations to this year’s finalists, including winner Blue Filter with an innovative water filtration system relevant for the U.S. & other areas in the world! Photos include Blue Filter’s founder Salah El Sadi pitching on stage &Salah with Kirsten. Other finalists included Tangra (founder Nelly V. Tacheva, MBA) & One Media Connect. Thanks so much to the judges James Howard, Dr. Shihab Kuran, & Sean O'Sullivan! And many thanks again to the presenting sponsor Integris, which also provided one of the prizes, along with Alchemy Media, Pierson Ferdinand LLP, Imbue, PrimePoint, & the Chamber.
Other photos include the Chamber’s Hal English kicking off the festivities &Kirsten with media producer Gabi Johnson (who with Mike Johnson took video and photos, including interviewing participants!), Katherine Kish & Elisabeta Cristina Dinca. Also, it was touching that the Chamber had prepared the framed flyer highlighting Lambent Data as last year's winner, including the photo of Kirsten with Lambent colleagues Kevin McClarren & Thomas Amato with Integris’ Managing Director Chris Kaban from last year’s event!
