Coatesville-based H20 Connected is one of two Philadelphia area startups participating in a new accelerator. The Maryland-based accelerator made its debut this week and aims to guide companies that are using sustainable technology, writes Donte Kirby for the Philadelphia Business Journal.  

The accelerator will be ten weeks long and will guide all six companies that are participating in the program.  

“Our goal is really to help with that final step,” said Montgomery County (Maryland) Economic Development Corp. Manager Patty Simonton.  “What we’ve done is really developed a whole mentor network of hotel industry experts who will help them navigate through that labyrinth.” 

H20 Connected develops products that can identify water loss problems in tank toilets to prevent leaks. Its LeakAlerter product has been installed in millions of toilets across the continent. It’s also considered a Qualified Opportunity Zone business.
