A Phone-Friendly Philadelphia

Starting this June, a solution to the most pressing problem plaguing our city, the inconveniently dying cell phone, has finally been found. As the Philly Post blog reported, ChargeItSpot, the aptly named start-up headed by Douglas Baldasare (WG'12), is looking to install 76 free cell phone charging stations in businesses throughout Philly.

Using cakes to spread the word to interested business owners (someone aced Marketing), Baldasare is putting those Wharton skill to work. For smart phone users, an app, also debuting in June, will monitor your phone's battery level and send out alerts about ChargeItSpot locations. Walk fearlessly Snapchat addicts and Google Maps dependents, the world is your outlet.
