Client identity and full detail are shared only once a match is confirmed on both sides.
Two or three warm introductions to impact investors who have backed hardware ventures in East Africa before, ideally ahead of a seed round opening in the new year.
Filters at 40 more rural clinics within 18 months, serving roughly 60,000 people with safe drinking water.
