Allay Lamp + Urban Stems: Ajay Kori

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Ajay Kori, Founder of Allay Lamp, a therapy lamp for migraine sufferers, using a patented narrow band of green light, discovered by Harvard neuroscientist, Dr. Rami Burstein.  Ajay attended Duke University for his undergrad for a major in Applied Science, and attended Harvard University for his MBA. Following college, Ajay has founded numerous startups such as UrbanStems, an online flower delivery service, Novilla Pharmaceuticals, and Allay Lamp.  While collaborating with Dr. Rami Burstein, they wanted to find the correct light band that could limit stress on the eyes, that result to migraines. This type of bulb was first estimated to $20,000, until they found a contact who worked with light installation for NASA on the space station, who was able to introduce a precious band at an affordable price. From this, the Allay Lamp was born and has been effective nation wide.  Make sure to check out Allay Lamp at: https://allaylamp.com/   Thank you to this episodes sponsor, Basic Rights.
