Let’s finally treat water as the life-sustaining force that it is. Let’s do water right.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve raised over $75,000 in our Kickstarter campaign. That’s led to a working prototype that’s tested accurate and durable, and that meets our stringent standards.
We’ve secured purchase orders from multiple Division I collegiate programs, and we’ve been accepted to the Capital Factory Accelerator Program. We’ve also been accepted to the Amazon.com Launchpad program, which will drive significant sales through the largest retailer in the world.
Plus, we’ve received a strategic investment from Arrow Electronics, which will de-risk much of the manufacturing process.
