The Who:
Nanu is co-founded by Kurt Kung and Seth Connell, and operates out of the lab/office in Everett, WA. Just two humans trying to change how the world thinks about the power of water in industry. Building on a previous working relationship in sustainable agriculture we logically focused on how nanobubbles impact agriculture as our first market. After successful pilots and going to market in 2023 Nanu has snowballed into this multi-faceted business tackling very profound projects across multiple verticals. As our advisory and in-house team grows we meet new challenges and exciting opportunities head-on. To learn more about us as individuals, please keep scrolling.
