Riggs Eckelberry, OriginClear

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 448 Riggs Eckelberry

Riggs Eckelberry doesn’t look like a bomb-thrower, and yet, he’s driving the disruption of a trillion-dollar industry that has fallen behind the times and is affecting the health of millions. That industry is Big Water. Simply, those billion-dollar centralized water systems aren’t coping with demand, and water quality is getting worse. The answer? Infrastructure.

Ten years after launching public company OriginClear, Riggs and his team are offering those truck-in-place modular systems in the USA, while licensees are building products internationally using OriginClear’s low-energy, chemical-free innovation.

Riggs is uniquely qualified to ride the huge wave of do-it-yourself water treatment that is transforming an industry, having learned management in the nonprofit space, captained oceangoing ships, and achieved several tech successes during the dot-com boom.

Listen to this informative Sharkpreneur episode with Riggs Eckelberry about disrupting businesses in the eco-space.
