Friday Finds: GO Wheelchair Wins Innovation by Design, Turbine Blades on Trucks, and Pitch Decks from Start-Ups

1. The Wheelchair of the Future Is Here

The 3D-printed, custom-made wheelchair, GO, is crowned as one of the winners of Co.Design’s Innovation by Design Awards.

This certainly gives us a clearer vision of the future of the healthcare industry. Businesses who want to stand out in this industry will consider a more patient-centric approach through customised medical devices.

2. These Trucks Just Drove 90 Enormous Turbine Blades Up a Mountain

Check out the incredible logistics that made it possible to transport 12-tonne, 52.4-metre blades atop a mountain in China.

The transport team used C&C Trucks to deliver the goods. (Check out the awesome details at WindPower Monthly.) With intensive planning and coordination, the journey to the top sure was sweet for this team.

3. Must-See: Pitch Decks from When Airbnb, Buzzfeed, and YouTube Were Still Young

A start-up company called Attach compiled pitch decks from what once were start-up companies, like Airbnb, YouTube, Moz, Buzzfeed, and LinkedIn.

Now this isn’t just your ordinary compilation of success stories — these are also stories of businesses who stood up and pushed through even after a series of rejections. CEOs and business owners can use these decks as templates if they plan to put together their own pitch decks.
