Waterhub 押注加水站能取代印尼 100 亿美元的瓶装水习惯

做的是什么生意

Waterhub installs reverse-osmosis water purifiers in Indonesian schools, hotels, gyms, and public places, charging pay-per-use or subscription fees to replace single-use bottled water.

启动资金：In August 2025, it received a seed round led by Archipelago VC with participation from The Radical Fund (amount undisclosed); in the same year it was selected for the KINETIK Sweef Fellowship (one of five Indonesian green-economy startups).

起因

Aerospace engineer Lyonda Huwaidi decided after graduation to work on 'things on the ground': giving Indonesians clean, affordable water. In 2024 she founded Waterhub; the team has two female founders, and they use a self-developed reverse-osmosis system to treat municipal water, rainwater, groundwater, and seawater, with a single machine producing 13,000 to 1,000,000 liters of water per day.

经过

As of August 2025, Waterhub had deployed 36 units in Bali, Jakarta, Bandung, and Lombok (32 public water-purification points + 4 large-client systems), with customers covering fitness, food service, and hospitality, and 100+ additional units planned to be deployed within 2025; the company expects to filter more than 21 million liters of water in 2025. The August 2025 seed round was led by Archipelago VC and followed by The Radical Fund, amount undisclosed, to be used for expanding production, hiring, and filtration technology R&D.

结果

Still running: after the seed round was secured, it began expanding production and R&D, targeting 2,000 machines by 2029 and expanding to remote areas such as Sumatra and the Gili Islands; the company bets that Southeast Asia will face a 40% water-supply gap by 2030.

可借鉴之处

要取代一个价值数十亿美元的日常习惯，必须更便宜、更环保，而不是说服消费者为环保买单。先锁定高流量场所获得收入，再向偏远地区扩展。
