Winston Starts, a downtown business incubator created by Wake Foresters, gives startups a runway for successful takeoff
Jake Teitelbaum (’17) and Lexi Corrion (MSM '19) made a stop in Farrell Hall today on their national tour to promote “resilience gives,” the company founded by Teitelbaum after his own fight with cancer. They will also be visiting Brenner Children’s Hospital at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Teitelbaum and Corrion, his co-owner and also a lymphoma survivor, work with pediatric cancer patients to design cozy, funky socks unique to the patients’ personalities and dreams. For every pair of socks produced and sold, the company donates one pair to a child battling cancer or to the child’s family member. If you see a van wrapped in socks, wave to them! Teitelbaum was diagnosed with Refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the end of his junior year and created the company after his favorite socks gave him a smile and ray of hope during one of his lowest moments.
