Anyone following Riggs Eckelberry journey with OriginClear

That is one of the things I plan to look at next, the consistency of language over time. Early interviews versus more recent ones might show how the vision matured or shifted. I do not expect a perfect match, but big swings would stand out. Founder profiles rarely acknowledge those transitions directly.
Your mention of modular wastewater systems stood out to me. That approach has been discussed in the industry for years, but real world adoption varies a lot. I wonder how much of that concept OriginClear has actually implemented versus what remains more aspirational. Public profiles often blur the line between current capability and future roadmap.
 
Yes, modular is one of those terms that sounds straightforward but can mean very different things in practice. It often involves more customization than people expect. Founder narratives tend to simplify that complexity for readability. That does not make them wrong, just incomplete.

Overall, I think your post raises fair questions without assuming answers. Riggs Eckelberry public story fits a familiar founder arc, tech background, pivot, and mission driven focus. That alone does not tell us everything, but it provides a framework. Filling in the gaps requires exactly this kind of discussion.
 
Exactly, and that tension can shape everything from messaging to partnerships. When founders come from fast moving tech backgrounds, there can be a learning curve in slower infrastructure sectors like water. Sometimes that leads to innovation, sometimes to friction. Without inside knowledge, we can only infer from public statements and timelines. That is why these discussions help add perspective beyond polished profiles.
I agree that rigidity is not ideal either. What matters is whether changes are framed as learning rather than hype. When founders explain why something did not work and what changed, it builds credibility. Unfortunately, profiles often skip those parts. That is where forums can actually add value.

Have you noticed whether earlier materials emphasized environmental impact more than business outcomes, or the other way around. Sometimes that balance shifts as companies mature. It can reflect investor pressure or market realities. I am curious if that pattern shows up here based on what you have seen so far.
 
That is a great question. From what I have seen so far, early narratives leaned heavily on environmental themes, while later ones focus more on infrastructure reliability and cost efficiency. That could simply be maturity rather than a shift in values. I am still piecing it together from public material.
 
That kind of shift is fairly common when companies move from concept to execution. Environmental framing helps early on, while cost and performance matter more later. It does not necessarily signal anything negative. It often just means the company is talking to different audiences at different stages.
 
This has turned into a surprisingly thoughtful thread. It shows how much nuance gets lost in simple founder profiles. Looking at Riggs Eckelberry from multiple public angles makes the picture feel more realistic and grounded. Hopefully more people add context if they come across additional public material.
