(Climate Tech) Field Sales Rep
Company Background
Aquaria’s mission is to safeguard and unlock a sustainable future for clean water.
Aquaria has created proprietary technology that harvests clean water from the air for entire communities. We envision a future where Aquaria can sustainably supply entire cities with energy from the sun and water from the air.
Disruptions to clean water access are among the main ways we suffer from the effects of climate change, and access to clean water remains one of the most pressing global challenges. Today, more than 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services, and this problem is worsening.
Aquaria is backed by top Silicon Valley investors, including Softbank Mistletoe, Soma Capital, Bow Capital, Ciri Ventures, HF0, and former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt. Aquaria was part of the 2023 Fast Co. World Changing Company of the Year award in multiple categories.
