If you thought Ravi Kurani, founder of pool monitoring startup Sutro, was destined to go into the world of water analysis - you'd be wrong. But you'd also be right?
Ravi's father built a chain of pool supply stores on the west coast, but Ravi was dead set on a career in defense. A detour to India to work on water purification changed everything.
Come hear the story of Ravi's quest to build Sutro; how it was so promising that a big Canadian conglomerate acquired it pre-release; and how he's now building an entirely new business based around Sutro's technology - but as a customer this time, not its founder.
