100+ startups offering products or services for free in response to Coronavirus
It’s safe to say that we don’t yet know how long the Covid-19 situation will continue, but it has already had a major impact on public health and the economy. Tech can play a role in helping on various fronts:
- Startups and tech companies working directly on tackling Coronavirus — from prevention to testing and patient care.
- Startups and companies offering free or deeply discounted services to support impacted people — from educating kids in quarantine to helping teams work better remotely.
For #1, there are calls for action coming from the EU and UK government to companies that can accelerate the manufacturing of respirators. I was happy to see great examples of Israeli startups fighting Covid-19 being put to use in hospitals, techies using their 3D printers to create much needed valves, and hackathons being organised by the tech community to improve working from home, business continuity and help those in need.
In this post, I’ll be covering #2 only. At the time of writing this post there’s already been over 110 entries from Europe and Israel. Please fill this form to add your company. Hopefully this helps inspire more action-oriented entrepreneurs to contribute…
