In 2011, Arch's CTO and Co-founder, Tim Burke, was in Tanzania trying to help rural villagers have access to clean drinking water. Previously, the focus had been on drilling new wells, but they had recently become aware of an alarming fact: 40% of existing wells are broken at any given time. To solve this, Burke and his team endeavored to build an ultra-low-cost cellular monitoring system, but the technology wasn't there yet. In 2015, Stanford colleagues Andrew Scheuermann and Tim Burke founded Arch to provide that monitoring system, and, by 2016, wells serving up to 10,000 people were equipped in Tanzania.
