LiquiGlideLiquiGlide’s Story
Friction is all around us. It dictates the way we design, build and consume. We’ve accepted the waste and frustration because there wasn’t a choice. Until now. We are on a mission to revolutionize products, packaging, processes and patient experiences by eliminating the friction between liquids and solids. We are building a frictionless future.
That future was made possible because of Professor Kripa Varanasi and Dave Smith who had a vision to minimize waste and enable new and better products, processes and technologies across industries that led them to invent LiquiGlide’s technology. They created a video of ketchup sliding out of a bottle that gave us a glimpse of what a new world of possibilities in packaging and beyond might look like.
Now, having secured over $50M in funding and global commercialization partners across industries, LiquiGlide is poised to make the frictionless future a reality.
