Hello and welcome to the Launchpad! Over the past year of doing this podcast, we’ve grown, and so have our guests. We have always strived to cover every aspect of the entrepreneurial journey, from the ideation to the product launch and possibly even the exit. Most of our guests have been in the game for a while, but we know that those aren’t the only stories worthy of telling. So we created this offshoot of the podcast to cover the companies that are just starting out.

Today we talk with Eric Roy, founder of Hydroviv. They create water filters, but this isn’t like the Brita that you might have in your fridge. These are water filters that are specific to your city’s water data. It might not be something you’ve ever considered, but the age of your home and city’s infrastructure, the natural geology of the region, and your proximity to industrial sites, farms, and military bases all affect the quality of the water that comes out of your faucet. So without further ado, I present to you our conversation with Eric Roy.
