History

D-Rev was founded in 2007 by Paul Polak and engineer Kurt Kulmann aiming to “benefit the 90% of the people on earth who are poor, in order to help them earn their way out of poverty”.[6] In 2009, Krista Donaldson joined D-Rev as CEO.[7]

Donaldson spoke at TEDWomen 2014,[8] TEDx Stanford 2012,[9] and the Clinton Global Initiative.[10] Prior to D-Rev, Donaldson interned at the design firm IDEO, worked as a staff engineer for KickStart International on micro-irrigation pumps, and served as an Iraq Economic Officer for the U.S. Department of State. Donaldson has been or currently serves as a lecturer at the University of Cape Town, Kenyatta University, and Stanford University.[11] In November 2020, D-Rev changed its name to Equalize Health.[citation needed]
