About Throne
Throne is disrupting traditional bathroom infrastructure (or lack thereof). We're expanding access to lovable bathrooms by reducing the immense cost and labor required for cities/municipalities/entities to build public restrooms. Our 'Thrones' are IoT connected, and fully self-contained with onboard solar and water/waste tanks, which allows us to deploy a new restroom in a matter of days. We design and manufacture Thrones in the US using modular construction, and can reduce the burden of $1M+ CapEx per toilet (yes, you read that right) to $0 + OpEx.
More than 200M Americans use public restrooms every week and many companies struggle to provide facilities for the growing workforces of dispersed labor (i.e. delivery drivers, gig workers). These needs represent a $122B market opportunity with no technology-driven competitors in sight. At Throne, we're not just about maintaining standards; we're about setting new ones. We're looking for passionate individuals who are ready to drive change and make a real impact in our communities.
