SV036: Hardware is Hard with FloWater CEO Rich Razgaitis

Rich Razgaitis has been passionate about building brands and teams. Since 2002, he has served in CEO/president-level roles in several venture capital backed start-ups, privately held turnaround and growth companies, and he brings insight from those experiences to his work today at FloWater. Raz was the CEO of several consumer-tech companies, including DealOn, an e-commerce company that developed the Web’s first deal-commerce exchange, and another, MyTownPerks, which built the first PCI-complaint, cloud-based loyalty program for B2B. (Both companies were subsequently acquired.) In this episode, you’ll learn: What is the current problem with the “state of water” domestically and globally? What are the challenges of a hardware company when it comes to cash flow? How is a hardware company’s growth different than a software company? How are “refill stations” positioned as smart devices? What is the big vision and big events for the company Environmental Tech in 2020? Help us out! Help us reach new listeners by leaving us a rating and review!
