About Ian

Bio

I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas and led technical engineering and entrepreneurial programs to install wind turbines in rural Africa and provide earthquake relief in developing countries.

I founded Shower Stream during my senior year in college and haven't looked back. We've raised $2.5M in grant and VC funding and work with large hotel corporations like Motel 6 and Hilton.

Company

Shower Stream

Elevator Pitch

Shower utility waste costs hotels $8B annually in water, sewer & gas. Plus, water & steam related building damage caused by aging fixtures and wasteful guest shower use cost hotels 10X more in repair & maintenance costs.
Shower Stream is the world’s first subscription IoT shower head that automatically solves these painful utility & maintenance issues at scale for hotels. Economy hotels don’t have to settle for low flow! The high-quality shower head is free to install and dramatically increases hotel guest satisfaction.

Shower Stream saves hotels $20/room monthly in utility costs, which is guaranteed to exceed its $10/room monthly subscription price. Hotels save more than they spend every month!

- Massive opportunity: 1B active shower head TAM combined with a $10 monthly recurring price.

  • Demand exceeds supply: 1.2M room pipeline: completed pilots with Hyatt, Hilton, Motel6, ESA, and the U.S. DoD.
