Looking for people who see the same problem

I’m looking for like-minded people — not necessarily investors or engineers, just people who care about the future of our planet.

One question I keep thinking about is: how many people actually see the growing problem of access to fresh water?

I’d love to meet people from different countries, hear your thoughts, experiences and ideas, and understand how serious this problem feels from your perspective.

If you think fresh water will become one of humanity’s biggest challenges, let’s talk.

Where are you from, and how do you see the problem? 🌍💧

Angel investor для Raverk

RAVERK is developing a modular system for freshwater production, thermal energy and environmental restoration for water-stressed regions.
We are currently preparing the first physical MVP and are looking for an angel investor to help us move from engineering development to a working prototype.
Target funding: ~€35,000.
The funding would primarily go toward building and testing the physical MVP: thermal system, solar concentration, thermal storage, desalination and monitoring.
We are not looking for a passive investor only. We are interested in someone who believes in the vision and would like to be involved in the early development of the project.
If you are an angel investor, technical founder, water-tech/cleantech entrepreneur, or know someone who may be interested

RAVERK — Looking for Engineering Partners & Technical Co-Founder | Equity Opportunity

Hi, I’m Ivan, founder of RAVERK

I’m currently looking for engineers who would be interested in joining me at an early stage and helping develop the engineering calculations and first physical MVP

RAVERK is developing modular systems for freshwater production, thermal energy and environmental restoration, mainly for difficult and water-stressed environments

Who I’m looking for

Thermal / Process Engineer

Thermal and energy calculations
Evaporation and condensation
Heat transfer
Thermal storage
Process modelling

Desalination / Chemical Engineer

Water and brine balances
MED / evaporation
Brine circulation
Water quality
Process optimisation

Mechanical Engineer

Pumps and piping
Tanks and heat exchangers
Pressure systems
Materials
Prototype design

Solar Thermal / CSP Engineer

Solar concentration
Thermal receiver
Solar-to-thermal calculations
Integration with thermal storage

Automation / Control Engineer

Sensors
Temperature, pressure and flow control
Automation
Monitoring
Future AI integration

What we need to do

The main goal now is to properly calculate and check the system before building the physical MVP

This includes

Energy balance → mass balance → thermal calculations → heat transfer → water production → brine circulation → component sizing → efficiency → prototype design

I want these calculations to be done properly and, where possible, independently reviewed

What I offer

This is not a normal freelance job

I’m looking for people who are interested in becoming part of RAVERK and building it together

I can offer equity in the company, depending on the person's experience, role, responsibility and commitment

As a starting point, I’m considering around 1–5% for technical contributors, but everything can be discussed individually

For someone who wants to become a real long-term technical partner or co-founder, the structure can be different

I’m open to discussing everything

Where we are

RAVERK is currently based in Germany, because I’m based here and this is where I’m developing the project

The company itself is registered in another jurisdiction, so we have flexibility for the next stages

Our main target market is MENA, especially Saudi Arabia and the UAE

If the right partner comes along, I’m completely open to establishing RAVERK's future operations in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or another suitable location

What I’m really looking for

I’m not looking for someone to simply make a few calculations and disappear

I’m looking for people who want to challenge the idea, check the numbers, improve the engineering and potentially build the company with me

If you're interested, DM me and tell me

What you do
Your engineering experience
Which part of the project interests you
How much time you can realistically contribute
Whether you're looking for a technical role or a long-term partnership

Can solar thermal desalination become a realistic alternative to reverse osmosis?

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a climate-tech concept for the past few months and would really appreciate honest technical feedback.

The idea is to develop a **containerized solar thermal desalination system** that can operate off-grid and produce freshwater from:

* seawater,
* mining and quarry water,
* industrial wastewater.

Instead of reverse osmosis, the concept is based on:

* Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)
* Multi-Effect Distillation (MED)
* Molten Salt Thermal Storage
* Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

The long-term vision isn't only freshwater production.

One part of the project explores using autonomous desalination units to gradually create freshwater corridors for ecosystem restoration in arid coastal regions. The idea is that reliable freshwater could support vegetation, improve soil conditions, and potentially contribute to local microclimate recovery over time.

I realize this is ambitious, and I'm not claiming everything is solved yet.

I'd genuinely like to hear from engineers, desalination experts, climate scientists, mining professionals, and investors.

Some questions I have:

* Is there any obvious engineering flaw in this approach?
* What would be the biggest technical challenge?
* Would thermal desalination become economically competitive if powered primarily by solar thermal energy with heat storage?
* If you were evaluating this as an investor or engineer, what evidence would you want to see first?

I'm looking for honest criticism rather than validation.

Thanks in advance.

solar thermal desalination

Hi Reddit!

I’m working on Alteris Labs — an autonomous solar-thermal desalination ecosystem designed to solve freshwater scarcity without fossil fuels, chemical membranes, or toxic brine discharge.

The Problem We Solve:

Remote communities, resorts, mining sites, and military outposts pay fortunes ($20–$35/m³) for trucked water delivery or burn massive amounts of diesel to run energy-intensive Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants that ruin marine life with toxic brine.

Our Technology Stack:

  • ALPHA-1 Mobile Unit: A 40ft High-Cube containerized unit. Deploys in 30–45 mins with 0% membranes (membrane-free thermal distillation).
  • 24/7 Molten Salt Storage: Holds heat at $560^\circ\text{C}$ for continuous overnight vacuum evaporation.
  • MT-CSP-1000 Underground Plant: Scalable underground infrastructure protected from sandstorms and desert heat.
  • Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD): Converts waste into dry, saleable salt/minerals (including lithium recovery from mining runoff).
  • Project Green Planet: Every 10th station is allocated to desert restoration, creating 240+ hectare green corridors over 20 years.

Our Current Focus:

We are targeting commercial deployment in 2027, with our primary market being the MENA region (Saudi Arabia & UAE) due to high solar irradiance (DNI) and urgent demand for sustainable water infrastructure.

Why I’m posting:

  1. Looking for feedback from engineers or investors experienced in climate tech / hardware / CSP systems.
  2. Seeking connections with angel investors or venture syndicates focusing on MENA / ClimateTech / Infrastructure.
  3. Advice on navigating early-stage pilot partnerships in the Middle East.

If anyone is interested in reviewing our pitch deck or technical documentation, feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM!

Thanks for your time and thoughts!

I’m 32, and only today did I realize what I want to do with my life.

I’m curious—how many others are out there like me? Let me know: at what age did you figure out what you wanted to do, and what was it? Did you manage to pull it off?
