In February 1981, Wozniak experienceda plane crash in which a private jet he was driving crashed while taking off from Santa Cruz skypark airport. His return to normal life took two years, during which he healed injuries and battled memory loss. Returning, he soon left Apple in 1987. After the accident and recovery, Wozniak founded numerous companies:

  1. CL 9 is the company behind the first remote control.

  2. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which in 1990Wozniak creates, together with Mitchell Kapor, a non-profit human rights organization. She is involved in supporting hackers in criminal cases against them.

  3. In 2002, Wozniak founded a firm called The Chariot of Zeus to develop wireless GPS technology.

  4. After the company closed in 2006, Wozniak published an autobiography, Steve Jobs and Me. The true story of Apple.

  5. In 2008, Wozniak joined the Salt Lake City startup Fusion-io, where he took on the role of chief scientific advisor.

For a long time, Wozniak was in the shadows, but what now?

And now Steve has contacted cryptocurrency!Namely, he launched a new company. Blockchain startup Efforce, which aims to develop green technologies and will help companies that want to improve their energy efficiency and receive funding.

"Efforce is the first decentralizeda platform that allows everyone to benefit financially from worldwide energy efficiency projects, while also making a meaningful difference to the environment.”

The company was incorporated in Malta in 2019year and since then has been working in test mode. Efforce is a platform where corporate or industrial building owners can get funding for their green projects.

According to the company, the project participantscan purchase the WOZX token "WHO-ICS", with these funds the companies improve their activities aimed at improving energy efficiency, and the resulting savings are distributed among token holders.

“The smart contract redistributes the resulting savings between token holders and companies without intermediaries based on accurate consumption/savings data.”

“In these difficult times, many smallcompanies are experiencing difficulties. “They can’t afford to switch to LED lighting or optimize production processes, although all this could help them save money in the long run,” said Jacopo Visetti, project manager and co-founder of Efforce.

Efforce allows business owners to safelyregister your project for the modernization of energy supply on the Internet and receive funding from all types of investors around the world. In this case, companies have more free funds that can be directed to other important projects, for example, infrastructure development and hiring employees.

According to Steve Wozniak, “Energy consumption and CO2 emissions are growing exponentially around the world, leading to climate change and serious environmental consequences.”

“We can reduce our energy footprint and reduce our energy consumption without changing our habits. We can save the environment simply by increasing our energy consumption."
