water while manufacturing products that enhance water wouldn’t
make any sense at all.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Smart. Beautiful. Sustainable.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
One night during a dinner party, our founder, Mike del Ponte was
hesitant to put his cheap plastic “other brand” water filter on
his nicely set table. Mike decided to pour his filtered water
into a glass wine decanter. Unfortunately (or fortunately) as he
did, the lid of the water pitcher fell off, causing water to gush
all over the kitchen floor. As he cleaned up the mess, he
thought, “Why can’t someone create a water filter that’s
beautifully designed, easy to use, and made of sustainable
materials?” Soma was born. The rest is water under the bridge.
What makes your product special?
Soma is the only water filter with 100% -based filtration.
Distinguished by its clean, modern design, Soma also gives back
by donating clean drinking water to those in need through
charity: water.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The most difficult part of designing Soma's first product, the
Carafe, was finding glass that is both lightweight and durable.
We discovered borosilicate glass by the famous German glass maker
Schott. Though it took over a year, this discovery is what makes
the Carafe a joy to use.
