Eighteen-year-old Mateusz Mach was the youngest person in Poland to receive money from investors to expand his company. He started Five, a mobile messaging application, or app, for deaf people. The app lets deaf people create their own hand signs to communicate with friends. The app now has more than 10,000 deaf users. And Mach thinks there will be about 150,000 more deaf users in the U.S. next year. There are many different sign languages in various parts of the world. Mach will be working with the United Nations in New York. The U.N. offered to support the next version of Five, which is designed with the U.S. sign language in mind. Mach will be studying economics in the next few years, but he will continue to work with new technology. He says, “I love to create. And I think that the creation of things will be my passion to the end of my life.”
