Pool Protection Technologies

Garrett Stigall founded Pool Protection Technologies to solve a real-world problem he encountered firsthand—skyrocketing chlorine prices and their environmental toll. His invention, S.A.M., uses ultrasonic technology to prevent algae growth, reducing chemical use by up to 70 percent and saving pool owners hundreds of dollars annually.

After graduating from the University of Georgia, Garrett moved into full-time manufacturing and growth. No Boundaries helped him sharpen his strategy, rethink his market messaging, and connect with founders and mentors committed to building a stronger regional startup ecosystem.

"This community doesn't just cheer you on," Garrett said. "It pushes you to think bigger, connect deeper, and turn a smart idea into something that can actually scale."
