@hopehydration is applying the logic of advertisements that power @Google, @Meta and more to water. It's clean water that pays for itself and is more accessible than Wi-Fi. Thrilled to see the team reach this milestone - a $20 million Series A. Huge congrats to @hiphipjorrge, @cristinagnecco, @dave_tigue and the entire @hopehydration team, and thanks for letting us be a part of it.

Sometimes businesses pop up that take a bit of time to make sense. @hopehydration is one of those businesses. When I first met @hiphipjorrge in 2021, he was chock full of confidence, like a lot of entrepreneurs in 2021, with an admirably aggressive plan, but I couldn't quite see it. And, fortunately, I was wrong. Make no mistake, this is an exceptional early company with the potential to transform a very large legacy part of the water sector. Jorge is also exactly the right person to build it. A rare combination of smarts, charisma, and a down to earth way of looking at the journey that can only come from a very specific blend of experiences, both positive and negative. We think they can be a huge part of the solution to the public water access problem, and this is a fascinating look into the early stages of building that solution. Hopefully, you'll get it faster than I did because we are seriously excited. They were our second investment in BIV Fund II. Please enjoy my conversation with Jorge Richardson.
