This week, Dr. Reinhard Hübner, CEO of SKion Water, joins Will Sarni and Tom Freyberg for the Season three finale, in the next 30 minutes discover...

How an early investment in a chemical-free cooling tower treatment start-up cost Reinhard millions but taught him a valuable lesson: It's all about the people. 

Why it is important to get to know the innovators before investing and the dangers of founders falling in love too much with their innovation.

How Reinhard's company started with a blank sheet of paper back in 2010 and has since grown to 3,000 people with over 750 million euros in turnover. 

And why he also believes it's difficult for venture capital firms and start-ups to work in water, noting countless examples when it comes to sludge and gasification.  

Plus much, much more!
