Coffee and Conversation with PLATESCRAPE

Nate Stein, inventor of PLATESCRAPE, will share his entrepreneurial experiences and journey to creating a company in San Luis Obispo. PLATESCRAPE is changing the way dishes are washed saving time, energy, and water. Frustrated with how much water was being wasted while working for a cleaning company, Nate just knew there had to be a better way. That night he drilled toilet scrubbers into a super-glued, Plexiglas tub. The next morning he filled it up with water and ran a dirty plate through it.... 3-weeks later he was standing on the stage of Tech Pitch holding Audience Choice Award.
