We believe recent technology advancements can be leveraged to make a major impact on the world’s water and energy problems.
Our technology development life cycle begins with big picture idealization and strategy. We then prototype many possible solutions, iterate with discipline, refine the idea and narrow in on high quality, consumer packages.
With a long history of traveling to and working in East Africa, we've built strong friendships and deep cultural connections that drive our rapid prototyping and supply chain. To succeed in Africa, you need to be on the ground.
We've carefully chosen our partners and team to ensure we control every aspect of our design, from manufacturing and software to electrical and business workflows, all built from the ground up to meet our customers' needs. This in-house expertise positions us to scale LEMA™ effectively.
Our collaborative team structure fosters seamless communication across the globe, allowing us to address the complex global challenges we tackle. We've assembled the marketing, communication, and business talent needed for a successful product rollout.
Our Core Values
High Impact Solutions
Where others see poverty and problems, we see people that can be empowered and employed. We value creating jobs and opportunities in local communities.
We Think Big
We reject the status quo and embrace change, always seeking ways to improve. We're empowered to focus only on what adds true value.
Extreme Ownership
I take full ownership of my to-do list and responsibilities, as well as the actions and outcomes of my team.
Empathy
We treat our team like family. And foster a culture of empathy that allows us to understand and appreciate different perspectives.
The meaning of LEMA
The term “LEMA” is short for “Analemma.” An analemma is an astronomical diagram showing the position of the sun in the sky as seen from a fixed location on Earth, at the same time of day, through the course of a year.
Our team operates with regularity and predictability in processes and outcomes, akin to the regularity of an analemma. Just as each daily observation contributes to the overall shape of an analemma, each LEMA member’s daily contributions help establish the team’s overall upward trajectory.
