History
Ali Orabi, Amer Orabi, and Shadi Bakour, alumni of Foothill College, founded Pathwater in Fremont in 2015. The company aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles. Angel investors include restaurateur Guy Fieri, NFL player Vernon Davis, and TV personality Ryan Seacrest.

In 2019, accounting software company Intuit replaced their single-use plastic water bottles with Pathwater aluminum bottles. Intuit offices are equipped with filtered water dispensers at all sites, allowing staff to reuse their bottles and shift away from single-use plastic.

Some schools that re-opened during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States banned the use of drinking fountains to reduce the risk of spreading germs. In Carson, Nevada, more than 6000 students were given refillable Pathwater bottles as an alternative.
