"Drinkwell would not be where it is today if it were not for
Cleantech Open. It's that simple. We came in with a pilot and left
with a real business (complete with paying customers for at least
the next 2 years!). If it weren't for our mentors, I doubt we could
have refined our revenue model, acquired customers, and
attracted investors as quickly as we did. What has been most
rewarding however is the platform Cleantech Open gave us to
meaningfully connect with the incredibly supportive cleantech
community in the Northeast. I consider many of the people I met
through Cleantech Open as genuine friends whom I will keep in
touch with for years to come."
