Date: 2021

Asset Class: Venture Capital

Description:  Burnt Island Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm built to support the best founders and technologies emerging in the water sector that transform water management, access and security globally.

Why We Invest: They say if climate change were a shark, water would be its teeth. We are already feeling the effects of climate change in the form of water stress, flooding, and fires; and lack of access to clean water and sanitation is human right billions are without. Innovation is needed in this underinvested sector. Burnt Island Ventures is the only water tech venture fund we have seen. It is a first time fund founded and run by Tom Ferguson, who ran ImagineH2O, the #1 accelerator for water entrepreneurs globally, and developed a deep understanding of the early stage water tech sector.
