CARDON

When skin-care aficionado Narae Chung WG17 and retail expert Jacqueline Oak WG17
met at Wharton, they got to wondering why the demand for Korean skin-care
products in America came almost exclusively from women. This question became the
catalyst for Cardon, a skin-care brand using high-quality Korean product
formulations in simple and targeted ranges for men. The startup’s intuitive
website and easy-to-understand products — each packed with ingredients for
common skin concerns — make for a perfect introduction to the culture of skin
care for a male demographic that’s largely uninitiated.

News

SHATTERPROOF

Roughly one in three Americans today report that drugs have been a source of
trouble for their family. After his son Brian took his own life amid a struggle
with addiction, Gary Mendell WG94 founded Shatterproof to transform treatment
and change how the public views substance-use disorders. Inspired by his loss,
Mendell aims to end the stigma in America by shifting awareness toward a better
comprehension of the realities of the disease and the current treatment system.
Shatterproof is spurring change among health-care companies, communities, and
legislatures — efforts that earlier this year garnered the nonprofit $5 million
from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott to expand its work.

ALULA

“There are few days that divide your life into two parts: before times and after
times,” says Liya Shuster-Bier WG17, who knows firsthand you can’t possibly
understand some experiences until you’ve lived through them. Her own battle with
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma inspired her to start a centralized shop with products
for those undergoing cancer treatments, ranging from cold packs to anti-nausea
lozenges and post-op recovery kits. Alula handpicks the most useful, thoughtful,
tried, and tested goods and also offers treatment-specific recommendations via
text or phone — all geared toward making living with cancer more bearable.

WONDER

Anyone who loves food appreciates that it’s best served fresh. Led by alumnus
Marc Lore and Scott Hilton WG07, Wonder partners with talented chefs and gourmet
restaurants to bring “fired, finished, and plated” meals right to customers’
doorsteps. Per their mobile ghost-kitchen concept, Wonder-branded food trucks
are equipped to prepare orders outside homes and deliver restaurant-quality food
fresh from the oven. Currently serving New Jersey, Lore and Hilton — who most
recently worked together as Walmart executives — focus on sustainable, locally
sourced, seasonal ingredients and plan to have a national footprint by 2035.

KEYE

“One subscription to access them all.” That’s the pitch for Keye, a new idea
from Rohan Parikh G23 WG23, Niha Gottiparthy WG23, and Paolo Fornasini G23 WG23
that’s tackling subscription fatigue. A winner of the Lauder Institute’s 2022
Jacobson Venture Awards and a recent participant in Venture Lab’s VIP-X
accelerator, Keye offers a new way to enjoy online content without committing to
so many services. Currently in beta testing, the startup gives users monthly
credits to access certain content from its partners, so you can stop anteing up
for services you rarely touch and only pay for what you need.

TOXISENSE

The global effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine in 2020 stressed the need for
a better way to test biopharma products for endotoxins. The current standard,
which relies on an extract derived from horseshoe crab blood, is required by the
FDA and ensures that substances like vaccines don’t transmit illness-carrying
bacteria. But the process of making the extract is expensive and is damaging to
the horseshoe crab population. Four Penn students — Aravind Krishnan C25 W25,
Andrew Diep-Tran W25, Udit Garg ENG25, and Aarush Sahni C25 — won the Perlman
Grand Prize at this year’s Venture Lab Startup Challenge with ToxiSense, which
genetically engineers bioluminescent plants to glow when exposed to endotoxins.
Not only is this testing method more cost-effective; it could save the
threatened horseshoe crabs from overharvesting.

JEREMY SIEGEL: UP CLOSE WITH AN ICON

Wharton School more than emeritus finance professor Jeremy Siegel. With the
release of an updated edition of his classic book Stocks for the Long Run,
Siegel reflects on his career, the stock market, and the School he’s called home
