In this episode, Will and Tom are joined by Aaron Tartakovsky, co-founder and CEO of Epic Cleantec. 

He talks about the company genesis, and going back to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Reinvent the Toilet challenge.

With a background in politics and one of four co-founders of the business, Aaron talks about the challenges of carving out an entirely new market: onsite, water reuse within commercial buildings.

Although leading a recycled water beer campaign that went viral, the scaling of the business has not been without its challenges. During early events, Aaron was told by senior utility teams that he’s the guy putting them out of business!

Aaron is one of the leading entrepreneurs in this space, and we hope you enjoy his story as much as we did.

Enjoy the episode!
