John Sherwin | Truth, Science & Hydration with the Co-founder of Hydrant
Talking to a science and biology expert from Oxford and successful entrepreneur about the pursuit of Truth was exhilarating and pretty much defines what this show is all about! :)
John Sherwin is the co-founder of Hydrant, a pioneering ecommerce brand committed to helping people maximize their daily hydration (about 75% of Americans are spending their days dehydrated).
Hydrant announced in May that it raised $5.7 million from investors in a Series A round, bringing its total funding to $8.8 million.
