We're on a mission to meaningfully expand restroom access.
We believe everyone deserves access to safe, clean restrooms, but most American cities lack adequate facilities: 44% of people feel anxious about restrooms when leaving their homes, and often plan their days and lives around ensuring they have access to a clean restroom.
We founded Throne to reimagine restrooms from the ground up, leveraging modern technology to make them cleaner, more accessible, and cost-effective.
