The Who:
Our story begins in 2021. Based out of Seattle, WA the founding team previously worked on indoor farming, water scarcity, and sustainability projects across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Together they bring 30 years of professional experience in business development, engineering, research, and commercialization. Nanu’s scalable and customizable core technology was designed as an affordable component solution for any system, rather than being designed as an otherwise pretty expensive standalone system.
Built on an ESG framework we do our part to mitigate climate change. Our tech takes water quality to the next level by reducing GHG emissions, sequestering carbon through direct air capture, and saving water for every customer.
