VVater, an innovative water treatment company dedicated to providing clean and sustainable water access solutions, has announced the successful completion of its latest funding round, garnering substantial support from notable investors, including Dick Anderson of HPI, venture capitalist Tim Draper, and two other prominent billionaire backers.
After separating from a global construction and civil engineering firm and emerging from stealth mode, this funding round sets the stage for rapid growth and expansion within the global water treatment technology market.
With its revolutionary method of water treatment that eliminates the need for chemicals, biologicals, filters, or membranes, VVater is positioned to leverage this new funding to disrupt various industries, such as industrial water treatment, food and beverage production, onsite reuse, and wastewater management.
The company’s electrical purification technology has gained international recognition, with financial powerhouses like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs highlighting water as a significant investment opportunity.
“The water sector is on the brink of a significant transformation,” stated Tim Draper, founder of Draper Associates. “VVater’s technology is not only innovative but essential for addressing the escalating global water challenges. I see immense potential in this company, and I’m eager to witness how they will lead the way in reshaping the global water landscape and addressing the clean water crisis.”
The funding will empower VVater to broaden its operations in key markets and scale its solutions through its Water-as-a-Service and Hardware-as-a-Service models. Immediate objectives include relocating to a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility near Austin, establishing a new in-house research lab to further develop its Farady Reactor technology, and launching disaster relief initiatives to alleviate clean water shortages following significant climate events. The company also aims to enhance research and development of consumer-oriented products utilizing VVater’s water treatment technology.
“We are thrilled to welcome a distinguished group of investors to our capital structure as we continue to strengthen our financial foundation. Their expertise and strategic insights will be invaluable in advancing VVater’s mission to deliver Clean Water for Humankind,” remarked Kevin Gast, Chairman and CEO of VVater.
“Our Farady Reactors signify a pivotal moment for the water industry, facilitating a global shift towards electrification in water treatment and purification. This groundbreaking technology is set to transform the industry by offering a safer, more efficient, and scalable solution. With our partners’ support, VVater is poised to revolutionize global access to clean water, fundamentally changing the future of this vital resource. This endeavor transcends business; it’s a movement to redefine global perceptions of water. In the next two years, water will be synonymous with VVater.”
VVater’s Farady Reactors recently earned the CES 2025 Best of Innovation Award for their groundbreaking water treatment technology. Industry recognition, combined with the support of prominent investors, positions the company to spearhead advancements in a rapidly changing sector. With water scarcity and sustainability becoming pressing global challenges, VVater’s technology provides a timely and scalable solution to meet the world’s water demands.
“We take pride in our Texas roots. Austin’s vibrant environment acts as a catalyst for our growth as we prepare to enter new markets, create innovative solutions, and forge partnerships to tackle the global need for clean water,” added Gast. “This is merely the beginning of an extraordinary journey, and we’re enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead as VVater establishes itself as a leader on the global stage.”
