Jeff Kahn
Jeff Kahn is the co-founder and CEO of Rise Science, the company behind the RISE energy-management app. A Northwestern-trained engineer who turned his own student exhaustion into a research program, Kahn co-published early work on how technology can improve sleep behavior and ran what the company calls the largest study of sleep's impact on real-world job performance across the NFL and Fortune 500 sales teams. He and co-founder Leon Sasson were named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and RISE has surpassed 1 million downloads.
Rise Science
Rise Science is a Chicago-based health technology company behind RISE, a sleep and energy tracking app built on two ideas sleep researchers agree on: sleep debt and circadian rhythm. Rather than scoring your sleep with a vague number, RISE predicts your daily energy peaks and dips and tells you the best time to do everything - from your last coffee to winding down for bed. Founded in 2015 by Northwestern engineers Jeff Kahn and Leon Sasson, the company has raised $15.5M and grown the app past 5 million users.
