Puralytics, a startup developing water purification equipment, announced today that it has raised $4 million in a Series A round led by Seattle angel group Keiretsu Forum Northwest.
The Beaverton, Ore.-based company helps people from around the globe purify their water with products like the SolarBag, Shield and LilyPad.
The SolarBag, which can be purchased by anyone online, is an award-winning personal device that uses sunlight to activate a nanotechnology mesh that removes bacteria and other bad chemicals from the water in just a few hours. The product has been sold in more than 50 countries.
Puralytics sells directly to consumers, as well as bigger government groups and aid organizations.
