Dropout’s Water Filter Biz BOOM! Bear Grylls Joins In!
Did you know a philosophy dropout revolutionized water filtration? Charles Robinson, a 24-year-old entrepreneur, ditched university to launch Water2, a rapidly growing water filter company. Surprisingly, his journey began with hand sanitizer, Gelcard, which he sold to giants like Google. However, Robinson's passion for clean water led him back to UCL, where a chance encounter in Milan sparked the idea for Water2. He collaborated with Professor Luiza Campos, and together, they developed a unique filtration system. Remarkably, Water2 is now in 180,000 homes, achieved with zero VC funding. Even Bear Grylls became a customer and subsequently a co-owner, further solidifying the company's success.
