    Riggs Eckelberry is a nationally renowned entrepreneur dedicated to revolutionizing the water industry, which has reached a critical breaking point in recent years despite being essential to the planet's survival. As the founding CEO of OriginClear, Riggs has developed innovative solutions to help businesses face rising water bills by tapping into new investment markets. He is even pioneering the development of "water stablecoins,” a cryptocurrency backed by water assets. With a diverse background in nonprofit management, oceangoing navigation, and crew rowing, Riggs is uniquely qualified to bring change to an outdated and overrun industry. 

     

    Riggs Eckelberry has spent decades refining a very fast process of doing and learning, that he calls Mistake Based MarketingTM.

    the most vital –but threatened –resource on the planet – water.
