Brian Keller is the CEO and co-founder of Rora, a company focused on creating innovative, easy-to-use water filtration systems designed to improve health without requiring complicated plumbing. After discovering that a filtered shower head dramatically improved his daughter’s eczema, Brian became obsessed with understanding water quality and building products that families could trust. Prior to launching Rora, Brian co-founded the mission-driven apparel brand Love Your Melon, scaling it over a decade before a successful exit. In this episode, Brian shares how identifying a personal pain point led to building an eight-figure business in less than a year.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How Brian turned his daughter’s health issue into a fast-growing business opportunity
  • The importance of product development and spending years perfecting a product before launch
  • Building an audience and generating demand before a product even exists
  • Raising capital for a physical product company and pitching investors pre-revenue
  • Why branding, design, and customer trust matter in highly competitive industries
