A few weeks ago, E14 Fund chartered a bus from MIT to NYC with 30 PhD students to spend the night in NYC and attend the MIT AI Conference. 🚀 The event was pretty amazing, but beyond the conference, it was great to see the students connect and practice their pitches on the bus 🚌 ... Awesome to partner on this with SE Ventures, thank you Varun Jain and the whole SE team.

Overjet was just named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2024! 🏆 Since 2018, we’ve had one simple mission: To improve oral health for all. This award is an incredible reminder of our impact — and a credit to this entire community of oral health leaders, who share our vision. Specifically, TIME recognized our groundbreaking pediatric product, Overjet for Kids. 90% of American children will have at least one cavity, making it the number one most common chronic disease. But with Overjet for Kids, dentists can spot tooth decay, before it requires serious intervention. And because our technology highlights the decay in bright colors, both kids and their parents can truly understand their X-rays. Congrats to all the winners!
