(don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

[Extract] "You're not gonna be able to entre three markets at once!" - Scott Bryan - Imagine H2O


Listen Later

Scott Bryan is the President and First employee of Imagine H2O. Imagine H2O is the leading water innovation accelerator and ecosystem for water, empowering people to develop and deploy innovation to solve water challenges globally.


There are some common traits among the about one hundred guests that appeared on that microphone. I could name their grit, their passion for water, or their generosity when it comes to sharing their wisdom.


But beyond all of that, there's a common agreement that in the light of the challenges our World has to face, we need innovation and new technologies to support our Water projects.


The problem is that usually, the next sentence, once you've said innovation is needed, is to remind everyone of how difficult it is to promote a new tech in the Water Industry - not to say barely impossible.


This is why we need exceptional support for that technology to strive in a hopefully near future. Nowadays, that support can come in many shapes, and we just explored one of those last week with John Robinson and his Mazarine Ventures impact investing approach.


Yet so far, I had somehow missed the elephant in the room in that podcast series: the historical and first player on that stage, which is, you would have guessed, Imagine H2O.


In a minute, Scott will reveal how Imagine H2O came to life, how it pivoted over time, how it further developed with its additional paths, and what's in it for the future while reviewing its not-for-profit approach - quite unique for a Water Innovation Accelerator


Yet, the fascinating element here, in my humble opinion, is how an entire industry forgets for a minute who's competing with whom to dedicate to growing the new wonder kids. 


Some of the Imagine H2O's alumni may sound familiar to the most loyal listeners, like Typhon Treatment , Puraffinity , StormHarvester , Aquacycl , 120Water , or Epic CleanTec , and if you missed one of these stories, I'll link them in the show notes.


Are you ready to hear about a different future for Water? Well, while you buckle up, let me remind you that if you like what you hear, you can help me up tremendously by sharing that content around you. 


Please tell your friends, colleagues, or LinkedIn network what you found inspiring in what Scott shares today, and if you don't like what you hear, please reach out to me and tell me what I should be doing differently or better. Come on, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side.
