Deborah is a leader in air-levitation technology designed to autonomously move goods and people from one point to the next. (Cred: she won Elon Musk’s Hyperloop competition after being told she didn’t qualify). Deborah is taking this technology to the streets to reimagine the way New Yorkers move through the city — safely, quickly, and with low carbon emissions. She aims to create a community driven transportation revolution that empowers New Yorkers to be a part of the conversation and design.
