CIRO is the first appliance designed to sustainably clean glassware with only warm water and soap

For far too long, we have been cleaning resin-soiled glassware with plastic bottles of alcohol and rock salt, environmentally harmful chemicals, and a lot of effort.

For over three years our team has been developing, testing, prototyping, dirtying and cleaning in our journey to bring you the smartest, healthiest way to clean your resin-dirtied glass.

You’re seeing our manufacturing prototype featured in our videos and photos – we’ve validated our concept and will move directly to production in the event of a successfully-funded Indidgogo campaign.

CIRO is a countertop appliance that’s built to last

CIRO is a women-founded tech startup and a registered Social Purpose Corporation.

We are based in Humboldt, California – part of the legendary Emerald Triangle.

• We are bringing this to market, with our backers (YOU) as our only outside investors

• CIRO was designed with accessibility in mind – clean glass is now available to all consumers, including medical patients and those with limited dexterity

• Ethical business practices are built into our business foundation– we are working to bring living-wage jobs to our local community, and use our resources to support other women and minority-owned businesses 

Meet The Founders

Laura and Cara became best friends at first sight at the International Cannabis Business Conference in 2015 in San Francisco, CA. Each with a connection to cannabis from consumption, cultivation, consulting, and distribution, they pitched Laura’s invention of an appliance to clean bongs and pipes to Jo Marini of Mother Superior Accelerator in 2018. By 2019 they mutually agreed that they had a unique and important product to bring to market that would make cleaning easier and significantly reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles in the cannabis community.

With Laura’s background as an electrician, Cara’s broad range of experience in business building, and their mutual dedication to sustainable business and products, they hired an LA-based product developer to fine-tune their design, found a manufacturing partner, and self-funded the first working CIRO prototype.
