Discover how ZwitterCo is scaling the largest Series A in water tech with fouling-resistant membranes, industrial water efficiency, & solutions for the 75% of the world facing shortages.
⭐ My guest today is Alex Rappaport, CEO and Cofounder of ZwitterCo.
ZwitterCo is a VC-backed water tech company that uses zwitterionic chemistry (yes, that’s a real term) and extremely fouling-resistant membranes to reduce industrial water use, save energy, and reduce chemical inputs.
Alex turned a startup bootcamp during his M.S. at Tufts University into an award-winning business and the largest Series A investment in water tech to date.
