Sarah Malinowski – Founder and CEO

Growing up she was always interested in prosthetics. She knew wanted to do more than simply use the ones off the shelf. She wanted to design and create limbs that feel like second nature. During her undergraduate degree she worked at a prosthetic clinic. It was there where she heard met many Veteran amputees and heard about the issues of current prosthetics.

She chose to follow her passion and move to DC to start her prosthetic company. While making connections through GW’s I+E program and completing her Master’s researching her prosthetic it became relevant that this company is much more than only a company. This is where she can give back to those who have given so much for our country and empower amputees.
