Penn Grads Make Case to Become Millionaire Inventors on CNBC Show

Two University of Pennsylvania graduates are the latest Philadelphia-grown entrepreneurs to have their work featured on national television.

Matt Lisle and Adrian Lievanoโ€™s water filtration device, designed with countries with limited access to clean water in mind, were featured on CNBCโ€™s Make Me a Millionaire Inventor Thursday at 10 p.m.

The show, in its second season, follows two experts in engineering as they try to find new inventions that have large market potential and works with them to produce and perfect a prototype before the entrepreneurs pitch their product to an investor.

Lisle and Lievano, co-founders of Everwaters, couldnโ€™t say whether they got financial backing until after the show aired.
