Kanja - portable water purification containers

We, Flores and Max, met during a Social Entrepreneurship seminar at the University of Bayreuth and are now based in Berlin and Würzburg. During the seminar, we developed the idea for an innovative water purification project based on a novel filtration process. Our vision is to create portable water purification containers that can be deployed in crisis and disaster zones—whether in developing countries, European flood regions, or other crisis-prone areas. As climate change continues to impact the world, access to clean drinking water is becoming increasingly critical.

However, we currently lack the technical expertise to bring this idea to life. Both of us come from economics backgrounds, and we are now searching for passionate co-founders with experience in engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, process engineering, or related fields.

What we offer:

- A socially impactful and exciting business idea in the field of water purification.
- The chance to be a part of a project from its inception, with the potential to make a positive impact on a global scale.

While we are both employed full-time and plan to take this project forward at a steady pace, we are deeply committed to the idea and looking for someone to work with us long-term on its development.

What we’re looking for:

- Individuals with technical expertise who share our vision and are excited to help us develop this idea.
- Experience or strong interest in water purification, engineering, chemistry, or process technology.
- Openness to learning new things and assisting us in gradually turning this project into a reality.

We don’t have prior startup experience but are highly motivated and ready to embark on this journey. If you feel inspired by our mission and would like to be part of this meaningful project, we’d love to hear from you!
