Visionary entrepreneur Brynn Snyder and her husband, Dr. Danny Snyder, have spent the last four years transforming their passion for oral health into a thriving business with the SLATE Electric Flosser. In October 2021, the couple launched a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, surpassing their funding goal on day one. They have since grown the company to $4 million in sales in 2024 alone, with a goal of doubling that in 2025.

While financial success is rewarding, Brynn approaches her work with a deeper purpose: to educate customers on the importance of flossing and improving their oral health. This year, she was recognized as one of the top 25 most influential business people in the Greater Spokane area.


The entrepreneurship lecture is made possible through a permanent endowment established by the Pigott family to educate the next generation of global leaders.
