If you filled up your car’s gas tank with printer ink instead of gas, it would cost $100,000. Hayden Hamilton knew the high cost of all the wasted printed pages that sat by the print station at his office. He searched for a solution and couldn’t find one, so he founded GreenPrint. The company offers software to reduce the number of unwanted pages from printing. The average Fortune 500 company using GreenPrint saves $2 million and 4,000 trees annually.

GreenPrint is not Hayden’s first socially conscious venture. In college, he was frustrated with the monopoly of the campus bookstore so he started a competing co-op to allow students to sell their used books for 85% of the sale price. After college, Hayden saw family members without health insurance struggle to pay for prescription medications, so he started ProgressiveRx.com, which sources drugs from overseas and offers a low cost alternative for Americans without prescription drug benefits. He also created Progressive Health Worldwide, a non-profit that provides free pediatric tuberculosis clinics for kids in India and medications for AIDS orphans in Tanzania. Listen in to hear Hayden’s story.
