Grace Hsia is passionate about saving infant lives. So passionate she decided to become an entrepreneur and enroll in the University of Michigan's inaugural Master of Entrepreneurship class.

When Hsia was a materials-science engineering student at the university, she discovered some sobering data from the World Health Organization: Nearly 4 million low-birth weight infants die annually. She learned that many of these deaths are caused by hypothermia because hospitals in developing countries cannot afford incubators and heat lamps, which can cost $500-$20,000.
