Our product aims to help clothing businesses assess their sustainability practices using personalized environmental impact data in order to see where they can improve. Itemized rankings allow businesses and consumers to see how an item compares to similar products on the market. Research-backed suggestions are made to point users toward lower impact materials. We hope that with the impact breakdown we provide, businesses will be motivated to keep their environmental impact in their material and product sourcing decisions in mind.

Entertainment is a billion dollar industry that encompasses film, television and more. A single production can involve thousands of cast and crew members and hundreds of background performers. These performers are an essential part of the production and are in constant demand, as nearly every project requires them. Currently, the background casting process is riddled with outdated issues, opportunities for blatant hiring bias and laborious tasks. CASTRA is a casting platform that aims to revolutionize the background actor hiring process, providing a solution for both background performers and casting agents that takes care of everything from ‘you’re hired' to ‘action’!
