At Neil Blumenthal's little league baseball game, there was a shootout where a man was shot three times. His mother was the first to run over to provide assistance and help save his life. From this point on, he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Serve others and have a positive impact on the world.
And he did just that when he partnered with David Gilboa in 2010 to found Warby Parker. Warby Parker is a retailer of prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contacts that offers high-quality products at an affordable price. For every pair of glasses or sunglasses sold, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need. So far, that's 13 million pairs and counting.
