This week, we are thrilled to feature the innovative mind behind Spout, Ruben Vollmer, who is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to water generation. In an engaging discussion with FYI Chief Growth Officer Julie Pilat, Ruben shares his inspiring journey from a concerned son witnessing his family's water rights threatened in California to creating a revolutionary machine that extracts water from the air.
Ruben recounts the decade-long process of development, emphasizing the importance of iteration and feedback in bringing his vision to life. He dives deep into the technology behind Spout, explaining how it utilizes a unique clay wheel and advanced filtration systems to produce clean, drinkable water, regardless of environmental conditions. This episode highlights the pressing issues surrounding water contamination, particularly in urban areas, and the necessity for innovative solutions to ensure access to safe drinking water for all
