#23 Elyse Dickerson: Ear Space

This local entrepreneur leveraged a career in fashion and big pharma into a startup that is tackling an unmet medical need with a big potential market – earwax impaction. Their first product, EarWax MD, is now in stores across the country and relieving the symptoms of earwax buildup for kids, adults and pets. Elyse Dickerson, co-founder and CEO, has built the company as a practitioner of Conscious Capitalism, setting out to do more for customers, investors and the environment than just maximize profits.
