Nicholas Dyner
Nicholas Dyner is the CEO of Moleaer Inc., the Hawthorne, California company that turned nanobubbles - gas bubbles 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt - into an industrial-scale tool for growing more food, cleaning more water, and reviving dying lakes. A Cornell history-and-economics major who fell into the water industry through a GE leadership program and never left, Dyner has spent nearly two decades selling water-treatment technology in more than 90 countries. Since 2017 he has guided Moleaer from a wastewater experiment to over 10,000 installations across 55 countries, a partnership with Xylem, and a multi-billion-dollar category that barely existed before he showed up.
Joachim Katchinoff
Joachim Katchinoff is a Yale-trained biogeochemist who co-founded CREW Carbon to turn ordinary wastewater treatment plants into permanent carbon-removal machines. By dosing treatment tanks with crushed alkaline minerals, CREW converts the CO2 that microbes naturally belch into stable bicarbonate, while cutting chemical costs for utilities. The company became the first in the world to issue certified Wastewater Alkalinity Enhancement carbon credits and raised a $25M Series A in 2026 to scale across the US and Europe.
