Backing innovations that address water/wastewater risks in priority markets

VENTURE INVESTING

Investing in young companies addressing water-related risks

Mazarine funds have the mandate to invest in early-stage technology companies with a combination of hardware, software, and/or business model innovation that help manage water/wastewater-related risks.

INCUBATOR

We are skunkworking the next generation of solutions

We are hypothesis-oriented investors, which called for the building of our own in-house incubator to 're-set' under-performing companies and/or launch new companies from scratch.

INSIGHTS

We see the 'water-tech' investment opportunity differently

Inefficiencies in the management and use of water lead to risks, spanning: public health & safety, environmental protection, cost of water, and business disruption.

WHO IS MAZARINE?

It sounds cliché, but it takes more than just a good product. The founders we back have the beginnings of a solid offering, but more importantly they can articulate a compelling vision of the future.

We believe in founders before the world knows about them

We invest in founders who are:

Impatient, and fearlessly advancing a creative hardware, software, or business model solution to help their customer manage water/wastewater-related risks;
Knowledgeable of customer needs and the competitive landscape of solutions;
Aware that their company's offerings ultimately support their customers' efforts to manage: Public Health & Safety risks, Environmental Protection risks, Cost of Water risks, and/or Business Disruption risks.

UPCOMING ROUNDTABLE

Water Risk in our New Climate Reality
Flooding, droughts, algal blooms

12 December 2024

Virtual Roundtable

This roundtable brings together Mazarine's network of SMEs operating at the intersection of climate adaptation and water.

Whilst water and wastewater utilities clearly face climate-change-induced risks going forward, many industries face water quantity and quality risks as a result of global warming.

This discussion will take participants to the world of water beyond water/wastewater utilities, and the water-related risks faced in our new climate reality,

Request an invite if you would like to participate in this discussion.
