H2Ok Innovations raises $12 million Series A to make manufacturing more precise for big-name customers like Coca-Cola and Unilever

Annie and David Lu grew up in a multi-generational manufacturing family. 

“My first job was a janitor in the quality lab,” said David. “I climbed distillation towers, swept the factory floors, and worked within the factory. I learned a lot about operations, and have a deep empathy for people within this industry.”

The Lus are siblings—David is the elder, and there are three years between them—and the cofounders of H2Ok Innovations, a startup providing precision automation solutions for manufacturers.
