Our Story

The idea behind HopeWaterworks began in September, 2017 when our founder, Shaun Sullivan, was working on an environmental control (a/c) unit for an Abrams Battle Tank as part of a project for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He was asked for a solution to the lack of clean drinking water in Atlanta, Georgia. At that time, Atlanta had only a few weeks of fresh water left before they would run out. Fortunately, it rained in Atlanta just after the help request was sent, and the impending emergency was averted.

​

However, this got him looking into the global fresh water needs, and he found there to be a large shortage of fresh water. Due to the global demand for clean water, he continued to develop the air to water machine, building multiple prototypes, refining the technology, and acquiring a patent for the technology. After years of development, our current pre-production prototype has achieved and surpassed all the mission goals. 

 

In the summer of 2020, we began preparing to introduce our air-to-water technology to the public. We - or, rather, Shaun's daughter Katie - came up with the name "Hope Waterworks" to reflect our vision of improving lives by bringing clean drinking water to as many people as we can
