Solving Water at MySutro.com | Forbes 30 Under 30 | TEDx

Water is an underinvested market, yet it’s one of the most crucial resources we have. But I believe that through better storytelling and innovation, we can shine a light on the water industry’s challenges and opportunities. 

In 2014, I founded Sutro, a robotic water diagnostics platform designed to improve water chemistry and safety. I sold Sutro to Sani Marc in 2019 and am currently leading day-to-day operations.

Today, as President of Sutro (a subsidiary of Sani Marc), I oversee the development, marketing, and sales of smart water monitoring devices. Our technology is trusted by some of the biggest brands in the industry, and we are the only NSF-certified autonomous device for water safety. 

I’m proud to lead our team in revolutionizing how people interact with water, ensuring it's clean, safe, and accessible.

Hampton is a dedicated group of digital-first founders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs of fast-growing startups who just get it – and make the crazy world of startup life a little easier to navigate.

I love Hampton dinners. Why? Because you meet some of the coolest people. It’s casual, it’s a dinner… we all need to eat dinner. 

I was sitting across Jeremy Johnson CEO of BoxHouse Co, who has sat in court for 86 federal indictements (an episode on this in the comments) to running a super successful prefab housing company. 

Many folks in the U.S. rent and don’t have the capacity to own a house, Jeremy is changing that. 

Making housing ownership accessible to all. 

To chatting with Tom Stefaniuk founder of SmallScreen, who understands YouTube and video to the tee. 

He’s built a successful influencer platform, and gave me some of the best advice for my water podcast, Liquid Assets: The Business of Water. 

Always good to see the rest of the crew, and thanks so much for hosting Elizabeth! 

I continue to say this. If you’re a founder. And you’re not getting out there. 

Do it. 

Meet folks in person, grab coffee, grab a beer.  Go for a walk, a run, whatever. 

Meeting over a table, in person, entirely changes the dynamic of connection. 

Humans are social creatures. 

Video conferencing is great for hacking out limited conversations but meeting IRL is a world in its own (it’s the one our ancestors used to live in).

We’ve been running a swimming pool route for more than a year. It’s had its “growing pains”, but we’ve learned a ton. 

2 things: 

(1) Pool owners are simple (we knew this from Sutro). They want to know that you’ve come, the work that you’ve done, and that the pool is clean (which for them, many times, means clear). Our motto: just do good work. 

(2) You need to build with the times. With agenticAI, how can we utilize clawdbot or other tools to increase our service level and take work off the hard working guys that are cleaning the pools. We’re coming at the business from a different lens. As product folks, just building a better experience. 

At the end of the day, we know it’s not rocket science. You’re cleaning a swimming pool, measuring and treating the chemistry, but how do you take an age old buisness - see it through a different light, and make the service better? 

We’re raising a small debt round with friends and family. If you’re interested shoot me a DM! 

Couldn’t be more excited to build Poolify  alongside Anthony, Rahul, and Partin.

Clean drinking water for everyone! Tokenizing water wells for humanity. It's actually quite profitable too 😉 Web3 Early Adopter and Investor. 25k+ Followers & 24M+ Impressions/Year 💧 HYDRATION IS WEALTH & HEALTH.

Hi! My name is Sören (yes, you can write Soren) and I love that you want to learn what I'm about. 🔥
I'm an entrepreneur and investor passionate about web3, impact, business, freedom, growth and the human mind (it's so powerful once you really understand the mind).

I am building one of the biggest, if not THE BIGGEST web3 impact project.

Water150 by Longhouse Foundation is committed to securing abundant life on earth for 150 years by setting the global long-term value of drinking water.

We think it's crazy that...
-1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water (1.6 billion by 2030)
-Water is polluted, overconsumed & misallocated
-The current economic system does not have anything in common with securing human life on earth

We envision a world in which...
-Everyone has access to clean drinking water
-Water ecosystems are protected globally
-Our economic system benefits our planet & human life on earth

We're now looking for strategic investors, advisors & partners who truly care about creating a positive impact in the world.

I hope you enjoy my content & would love to learn more about you.

With Longhouse Water150, I am building one of the biggest, if not THE BIGGEST web3 impact project.
🌊 Water is the foundation of life itself. 80% of global biodiversity can be found near natural springs, untouched by mankind. A human being needs about 1 000 liters (264 gallons) of water every year to sustain a healthy life. 

But clean drinking water is scarce, and that is a global problem, yes USA & Europe are affected in many areas as well!

The UN predicts that by 2030, 1.6 billion people will be lacking access to clean drinking water.

We will secure 1000 spring water wells across the world and provide the best drinking water without disrupting the natural circulation of water.

You can't be ambitious and lazy at the same time.

One destroys the other.

Feed your laziness and your ambition dies. Wake up late, skip the work, take the easy path, and watch every goal you claimed to want fade into "someday."

Feed your ambition and laziness has nowhere to live. The early mornings become automatic, discipline becomes your identity, and work becomes non-negotiable.

Most people think they can have both. They want the results of ambition with the comfort of laziness. They want the body without the training, the business without the grind, the success without the sacrifice.

It doesn't work that way.

You're feeding one or the other every single day. Every decision is a vote. Hit snooze? Vote for laziness. Get up anyway? Vote for ambition.

This battle never ends, just know which side they're fighting for.

Which one are you feeding today?
