Driptech is working to alleviate poverty by creating extremely affordable, water efficient irrigation solutions for small-plot farmers in developing nations. Driptech invented a new manufacturing technology that makes clean, consistent holes in super-cheap plastic tubing. The resulting product works better and more reliably than the competition at 2−5x less cost. Driptech sells their drip watering system to organic gardners who want to effectively water their garden with minimal environmental impact. Driptech saves farmers water, labor, and time — all while growing a valuable dry-season crop that can greatly increase annual income.
