A very happy 2025 to you from all of us at BIV. Please find the Monthly Update LI below. It was a strong finish to the year, particularly from NLine Energy, Inc., HOPE Hydration, Cala Systems, TeamSolve, Daupler and Aqua Membranes, Inc. (though that list could be a lot longer). 2024 reminded us of a lot of time-honored startup wisdom, and of the folly of prediction. But predictably,?we predict some things here anyway - https://lnkd.in/epN7YijK Finally, our thoughts are with the citizens of Los Angeles - if we can help those affected in any way, please let us know.

The funding gap in US water/wastewater utilities and is $110B/yr increasing 10%/yr, according to McKinsey & Company: "closing the gap will require rethinking how water systems are funded across the country, ... leaders can play key roles in?making existing funding go much further". Yep! There's zero chance that doing things the old way will work for the future - the money isn't there to pay for it. What do we do? Call 1-800-inno-vation! Good news: There's a new cohort of innovators with new ways of doing things, for example SewerAI, Daupler, TeamSolve, Ziptility, CivilGrid, Subeca, Aclarity, AlgaFilm Technologies Ltd., SwiftComply, ... And it's not just a US problem, either. Details from McKinsey here: https://lnkd.in/gNEynwQu

If you were to add up the economic costs of natural disasters globally, the cost of flooding would far exceed the total cost of wind, fire, and ice combined at a staggering $179.8 - $496 billion per year in the US alone. Previsico is tackling the problem headlong with a live flood forecasting solution that provides timely, accurate and high-resolution predictions of floods 48 hours in advance of an event, allowing property owners to take action to protect their property. It’s a step-change in how we think about climate change adaptation, and we’re thrilled to be a part of the next step in the journey. Jonathan Jackson, Dapeng Yu and Dr Avi Baruch and the entire Previsico team, thanks for letting us tag along. Here’s why we did it.??

Huge thanks to the team at Global Water Intelligence (GWI) for including our very own Christine E. Boyle among their astonishingly accomplished list of 25 Power Women in Water. Bravo! ??????
GWI's latest list of the 25 most powerful women in water reveals some significant changes since 2022 ?? As the tide turns on diversity in some markets, our latest list marks a changing corporate, utility and political leadership landscape. Just 10 women retain their spots from three years ago, including Veolia CEO Estelle Brachlianoff, who continues as the undisputed number one. Retirements, resignations, political appointments, and corporate shake-ups have opened up the roster considerably. Replacing them are some fresh faces, with three women appointed to powerful positions in water in the past few months alone (Jessika Roswall at the European Commission, Retno Marsudi as UN Water Envoy, and Janisse Qui?ones PE at LADWP). Water infrastructure is particularly well represented in our list this year, with nearly half of the women listed leading large utilities, most of them in the US and the UK. Women heading up large water companies form the next most sizeable category, followed by policy-makers and CSR leaders. Luciene Machado, CP3P-F from Brazil’s national development bank BNDES is currently the only financier on the list. Read the full list here: https://lnkd.in/ewYbTVP3 #Water #Leadership #Utilities

I owe what I get to do every day here in a job I love to many people, but Scott Bryan really helped. In 2015, he took a chance on me to become the VP of Programming at Imagine H2O running the Accelerator, and it was a learning curve which laid the groundwork for what we do here at BIV. Scott is one of the most important figures in early stage water. Since 2010, he has built Imagine H2O into the premier accelerator for water entrepreneurs running three annual programs, and they announced their first pilot fund last year. All of this adds up to an enormous and rapidly growing degree of impact in water as the companies they backed and supported have revolutionized everything from groundwater management to flood insurance. Please enjoy my conversation with Scott Bryan. Tune into our 30th episode of The Fundamental Molecule featuring Scott Bryan, President at Imagine H2O. Episode link here: hhttps://lnkd.in/ecGBXXbP
