Bridget Hilton, founder of LSTN, wants to make social enterprise and entrepreneurship the coolest thing for millennials. She used her background in music as well as Joe Huff’s, her friend, background in fashion to establish the company in her kitchen. She now heads LSTN with its employees and interns from better office facilities although she also travels extensively for company expansion purposes.
Hilton’s bold idea: To empower people by letting them know that each individual matters and that each purchase can make a real difference in the lives of others.
LSTN manufactures durable, beautiful and stylish headphones using various components notably reclaimed wood. For each pair of headphones LSTN sells, the company helps in the restoration of a deaf person’s hearing through the Starkey Hearing Foundation. As a for-purpose company, it has connected thousands of individuals and families, even communities, through sound in general and music in particular.
Hilton has been instrumental in giving the precious gift of sound to more than 17,000 people in various countries including the United States, Kenya, Peru, China, Uganda, and Sri Lanka.
