Vital Lyfe is a Torrance, California hardware company building portable water purification technology designed to scale where infrastructure cannot reach. Its flagship product, Access, is a portable watermaker that converts naturally occurring water, including saltwater, into clean drinking water through a simple place-a-hose, press-start, hydrate workflow. The company sells the Access device and branded gear through a direct-to-consumer Shopify storefront and publishes a mission, team, careers, and journal. It was surfaced as a General Catalyst portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network. As of this enrichment pass, Vital Lyfe is a consumer-hardware and e-commerce brand with no public API, SDK, or developer program surface.
