Decoding Entrepreneurs with guest Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder and CEO of Flow Water Inc.

I'm Tomas Schmidt, and welcome to Decoding Entrepreneurs - a series of one to one conversations with successful Canadian entrepreneurs, founders & innovators about their personal journeys and how they achieved success.

My guest in this episode is Canadian serial technology entrepreneur and investor Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder and CEO of Flow Water Inc.

Nicholas is a Canadian serial entrepreneur & investor, who’s created and built numerous businesses that have disrupted the status quo across consumer goods, digital distribution, entertainment, hospitality and social media.

Launching Flow in 2014, he set out to disrupt the water industry, which had remained largely unchanged for years.

Earlier this year, Flow Alkaline Spring Water raised $45 million in a funding round, with many famous entertainment and celebrity investors, including singer Post Malone, former baseball player Chase Utley, singer Shawn Mendes and his manager Andrew Gertler, and artist managers Austin Rosen and Dave Holmes. Private equity firm Ruttenberg Gordon Investments also participated in the funding round.

Flow is aiming to sell more than 100 million units this year and has seen 250% year-over-year growth.

It’s sold in 25,000 stores globally, and the brand is hoping to have a consumer base of 20 million by 2021.
