Apple CEO Tim Cook is among a group of high-profile investors in Nebia, a San Francisco-based Startup that has created a Water-Efficient Shower head, according to The New York Times. Nebia is a self-installed Shower system that atomizes water into millions of droplets to create 10 times more surface area than a regular Shower for up to 70% less water consumption than a traditional Shower head.
Nebia Shower was recently introduced on crowdfunding website Kickstarter and has quickly reached its $100,000 funding goal, with over $130,000 in pledges and counting to be paid out to the six-person company on September 11. The Shower Head is available for a pledge between $269 and $299 and will retail for $399 once released.
According to the Kickstarter page, Nebia has tested its Shower Head with students, employees and customers at Equi**x Gyms, Google, Apple and Stanford University. Apple **ted that Cook's funding towards the Nebia was a personal investment, but declined to comment further on the matter. Other investors include Michael Birch, Y Combinator and the Schmidt Family Foundation.
