Cofounders fromAcademia

The origin of Handprint's story is academics, like with most great things

A grant to investigate "innovation in the natural world" had just been awarded to Simon, a professor at Singapore Management University After completing their PhD in Environmental and Energy Policy, Ryan was looking for a new opportunity and was working at the Department of Energy in Washington, DC, at the same time.

At the 2017 Academy of Management Annual Conference "At The Interface" in Atlanta, Georgia, they both crossed paths. Simon talked about his work in digital sustainability and revealed his plans to work with a postdoc researcher. Ryan expressed interest right away, and the next day, during a conference social function, they were hired.
