Why America's Water Systems Still Run on Pen & Paper

On this episode of Coffee with a Founder, Beck Bamberger sits down with Chris Sosnowski, CEO and founder of Waterly, a Chicago-based startup helping modernize the water and wastewater industry through people-first software built to replace outdated pen-and-paper systems. The conversation explores the growing challenges utilities are facing—from labor shortages and aging infrastructure to the urgent need for transparency, accurate reporting, and safer water systems. They also get into what it actually takes to build trust inside an industry that most people rarely think about until something goes wrong. They also unpack Waterly's unconventional pricing model, lessons from the startup rollercoaster, and why one of the most essential industries in the world is still massively underserved by modern technology.

Building Payments for the Most Overlooked Americans | Ofek Lavian, Forage

On this episode of Coffee with a Founder, Beck Bamberger sits down with Ofek Lavian, co-founder and CEO of Forage. Forage is an EBT payments company helping low-income Americans access food through online platforms like DoorDash, Uber, and Shopify. What used to be an in-person, highly limited system is now becoming digital, unlocking access for millions of people living in food deserts or balancing multiple jobs. The conversation dives into why that gap exists, what it takes to build in a highly regulated space, and how a venture-backed company can both scale fast and solve a deeply systemic problem. If you're into founder-led innovation tackling broken systems that impact millions, don't miss this one.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
