Alison Cove is the Founder and CEO of USEFULL, the only tech-enabled, stainless steel takeout container solution for college and university campuses.
Alison wholeheartedly believes that you “can’t solve a plastic problem with more plastic” so by merging technology with recycled stainless steel – USEFULL was born. She founded USEFULL to solve her own personal dilemma – she loved to-go food and drink (doesn’t it always taste better when someone else makes it?!), but felt guilty by the trail of waste this habit creates. And yes, she had a cabinet full of reusables at home, but always forgot them, or found lugging them inconvenient.
Outside of work, she is an avid lover of the outdoors and is an experienced sailor who also enjoys biking and hiking.
