Team to compete for $145,000 in funding at Stanford University on January 24
GreenSight Technologies has been named one of eight finalists for the 2026 Westly Prize, a prestigious award recognizing young California social innovators addressing urgent social and environmental challenges.
The finalists will compete for $145,000 in unrestricted funding—including three $40,000 awards—at Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service on Saturday, January 24, 2026.
GreenSight was recognized for its AI-powered platform helping IT recyclers automate workflows and reduce e-waste. The company's Scan-For-Value™ technology enables electronics recycling and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) facilities to identify devices faster, access real-time pricing data, and make smarter routing decisions—ultimately helping more electronics find their way back into productive use rather than ending up in landfills.
“We're super excited to be a finalist for the 2026 Westly Prize,” said Jake Daniels, Co-Founder & CEO of GreenSight Technologies. “Thank you to the Westly Foundation for this recognition and opportunity. We can't wait to pitch in Palo Alto later this month.”
GreenSight joins seven other finalists tackling challenges across water pollution, youth mental health, food waste, college access, vaping cessation, AI education, and support for underrepresented founders.
