Pre-Series A  ·  Confidential

The hydration intelligence layer for the biometric era.

Measured hydration that plugs into every wearable, feeding the levers people already optimize: HRV, recovery, and sleep.

Drink Intelligently.   Give Generously.   Live Sustainably.

Intelligent WTR Bottle

The Connected System

One ecosystem, from source to sip.

Generosity connected system: Home WTR Hub, Intelligent Faucet, Alkaline WTR FLTR, Intelligent WTR Bottle, and the WTR App

Home WTR Hub Gen 2 with Intelligent Faucet, the Alkaline WTR FLTR, the Intelligent WTR Bottle, and the WTR App. One system, one score.

The Gap

The world is optimizing biometrics, and blind to the one input you control most.

Manual apps capture what you claim. Smart bottles stayed islands. Neither knows your water quality, your absorption, or what your wearable already sees. Hydration stays a guess, so it never makes it into the systems people already trust with their health.

Solution

Measured hydration intelligence, as an input layer for the wearable stack.

Measured, not reported

The Intelligent WTR Bottle captures real intake over BLE, and our Water Intelligence layer knows the quality of what is in it. A signal, not a self-report.

Absorption, not just intake.

Absorption, not volume

The Net Hydration Score models what your body actually absorbs against fluid loss, then adapts to you. An absorption efficiency model, not a concentration adjustment model.

Adaptive range, not a fixed threshold.

Integrated, not islanded

Hydration flows into the wearables people already wear, completing the picture next to HRV, recovery, and sleep. Seven integrations are already built.

Completes the stack, does not compete with it.

Product

Not a concept. A working instrument.

Intelligent WTR Bottle. SMART 1 · 22oz. Double-walled 18/8 stainless, vacuum insulated for 12h hot and 24h cold. The smart lid is the sensor module: it streams what you drink, and what is in it, over Bluetooth.

The smart lid sensor module

The smart lid is the instrument.

Time-of-flight intake, TDS, and temperature, streamed over BLE. The cap is the sensor module, not an accessory. The illuminated droplet confirms a live read.

Every sip flows into the WTR App, scored by WIOS against a 42.9M-row water-quality map.

Competitive Advantage

The moat is the intelligence, not the bottle.

Two truths, kept separate. Measured (what we sense) is never blended with Reported (what you claim). That separation is the trust architecture. The Net Hydration Score is an absorption model: intake times absorption, net of fluid loss, adapted to you. Structure is public; the weights are proprietary and server-side only.

Evidence base: a 33-study meta-analysis links hydration to lower exercise heart rate and faster HRV recovery; the sleep link is an active frontier (the leading study ran on an Oura Ring). We label every claim against the four confidence tiers above.

Personalization

One engine, four very different lives.

The Athlete

Ties unexplained HRV dips to hydration deficits, so training load and recovery stop being a guess.

The Executive

Links mid-day fatigue and brain fog to hydration, not just stress or a short night of sleep.

The Woman (cycle-aware)

Connects hormonal phase to shifts in fluid absorption, a signal women's health has never had.

The Senior

Flags dehydration risk early to help prevent dizziness and falls, a leading concern for older adults.

Same Net Hydration Score. We move every user from correlation, to causation, to proaction.

Traction

Go-to-Market

A distribution partner that converts for a living.

DTC Channel Growth Partner

A DTC app studio whose core competency is conversion.

  • 2M active users across their consumer app portfolio
  • Team of 9 experienced at converting
  • Proven operator, live App Store apps they built and run
  • Funds the funnel runs and pays for acquisition

Floor-committed. 200K cumulative units by year 3, with 500K possible if early stickiness levers fire.

Business Model

Make the bottle they own intelligent.

Fit what they own

A retrofit smart cap engineered to fit the top sellers (Stanley, Yeti, Hydro Flask). We do not win the bottle, we make it intelligent.

Complement two stacks

Slots into the refillable-bottle industry and the wearable stack. Intake and ingestion events sharpen biometric and predictive analytics.

Every cap feeds the moat

This plus the partnership funds acquisition. Every user enriches the data sets and models. The data is the real moat.

Revenue Bridge

One funnel is the floor. Three lines are the business.

The headline is not a single bet. It is the Intelligent WTR Bottle on the partner volume floor, plus two parent-retained recurring lines: the WTR App subscription and the filter subscription. Every figure is modeled from the unit economics, not assumed.

$54.9MCombined revenue, 3-year build (200K bottle floor)
Intelligent WTR Bottle (partner floor)$36.7M
Filter subscription (Hub plus Retrofit)$14.5M
WTR App subscription$3.7M

Exit recurring ARR

By Year 3 the business carries real recurring revenue, independent of new hardware sales.

App $2.8M plus filter $9.6M, Year 3 run-rate

What sits where

The bottle and app license sit inside the partnership. The filter subscription and WIOS licensing are parent-retained and outside the revenue-share carve-out, so the recurring margin compounds for the parent.
