Reminds me of the dialysis machine for babies that was up here a while back: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=267510

If they are saving premature babies, then say that. Isn't that a good enough cause on its own?
I object to dressing it up as saving the world, though, because population growth and world saving ... well, they don't go together too well.
Nice wax warmer idea, though.

N.B. As far as I can tell, this is a prize, not an investment, so calling the winners 'entrepreneurs' is a stretch. They appear to be starting a charity, not a company. And charities, while often noble in their intent, are not particularly sustainable; for sustainability, it's hard to beat a profitable company.
To paraphrase H.L. Hunt: if this world is worth saving, it's worth saving at a profit.
