The Importance of Re-Hidrate-tion

Techstars SummerTech: hot tech & cool gear to survive this steamy summer, all from the Techstars network

Sure, you’ve got that big water bottle sitting on your desk or stuffed in your backpack — but when did you actually last pick it up and take a swig?

Staying well hydrated is key: it gives you more energy and better skin. Drinking plenty of water promotes weight loss and keeps you from getting dehydration headaches. Nonetheless, we all get caught up in our busy days, and forget to drink.

Hidrate is here to help. The Hidrate Spark is a connected water bottle that syncs with your phone to track your daily water intake, and glows to remind you to drink.

Founder Nadya Nguyen tested out her idea for Hidrate at a Techstars Startup Weekend in the Twin Cities, and got such a positive response that she went right out and applied to the Sprint Accelerator Powered by Techstars, which she attended in 2015.

“Startup Weekend is where you go to accelerate your idea, Techstars is where you go to accelerate your company,” Nadya explains.
