Fantastic to be represented by our very own Max Storto at Climate Week. We couldn’t be more thrilled that “water is becoming famous.” 💧 Thank you to all the partners and innovators that made this week a success! Let’s keep the momentum going. 👊🏽
Just back from Climate Week NYC, where water was more present than ever before — confirming that we’re reaching a new “water curious” crowd. 🌊 Across the week, I joined sessions hosted by incredible open innovation ecosystem partners — Burnt Island Ventures, Closed Loop Partners, UpLink - World Economic Forum, ClimateHaven, and Elemental Impact — all pushing the conversation forward on water innovation. I had the chance to speak alongside Will Hewes about the toughest problems facing the water sector and how we can introduce more funding sources. Some takeaways: 💧 Water insiders need to simplify the way we talk about water investing — not lean on “it’s complicated” 💧 Startups continue to struggle with corporate end users; we need clearer pathways to partnership 💧 Calls for more catalytic capital, pooled funds, and joint approaches are growing louder 💧 Adaptation and resilience are rising priorities for investors and corporates — water is right at the center of that shift 💧 Tech ecosystem momentum is building around water replenishment, data centers & cooling, advanced wastewater treatment, and efficient ag solutions (I even met a founder, Jana Tian from Upside Robotics, using robots to optimize fertilizer application 👀) A big thank you to the partners and people who made the week so energizing — Aishwarya Kuruttukulam, Ryan Dings, Tom Ferguson, Will Hewes, Danielle Joseph, Eliza Roberts, Anna Huber — and many more. Excited to build on this momentum together. Let’s make water famous. 💧 (Thank you Eliza for this aphorism!) Xylem Innovation Labs
Throwback Thursday (on a Friday)! ✨ Xylem Innovation Labs hosted our first-ever event on the opportunities to invest in water technology and innovation — and the risks to businesses if they don’t. 💧 Quench Your Water Investing Curiosity brought together 100+ attendees from across the venture ecosystem for an afternoon of future-focused conversations and controversial debates. And because no great event ends without new connections… we wrapped up with rooftop networking including a water sommelier experience and Old Fashioneds crafted with bourbon made from reused water. 🥃💦 Thank you to everyone who made this event a success - whether on stage, in the audience, or during conversations after. Events like this remind us how powerful it is to gather around such an important topic: water. #WaterTech #Innovation #CVC #VentureCapital #XylemInnovationLabs Here’s a look back at some highlights 👇
Very proud of our partnership with Transcend — bringing the best of generative AI design to provide a best-in-class experience for our customers. To learn more, reach out to our innovation champion — Georgina Schaefer! #xil #partnership #ai #infrastructure
Global Water Intelligence (GWI) just published a feature on Xylem’s continued investment in innovation—and highlighted their partnership with Transcend as a key part of that strategy. The piece explores how Transcend’s generative design capabilities are helping utilities and engineering firms create structure they can build on to help them accelerate early-stage planning, standardize design workflows, and make smarter capital investment decisions from the start. As COO Antony R. shared in the article, embedding design earlier in the process doesn’t just save time—it builds the digital foundation needed for long-term asset success. 📖 Read the full article: link in the comments. #WaterInfrastructure #GenerativeDesign #DigitalEngineering #SmartUtilities #TranscendSoftware #GWI #Xylem

💧 Yesterday we hosted our first-ever event at #CVCWeek: 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲! 🚀 Corporate VCs, VCs, PE, and startup founders all in one room talking water — a sector that touches everyone yet remains underinvested. 💡 Together we highlighted the massive opportunity ahead: investing in water isn’t just about resilience, it’s also about capturing real upside and driving top-line growth. 🙌 For us, innovation is more than new tech or business models — it’s about building community and opening new conversations. Yesterday proved the power of both. #WaterTech #Innovation #CVC #VentureCapital #XylemInnovationLabs Ginger Rothrock Sunidh Jani Aaron Tartakovsky Snehal Desai Tom Ferguson Nicole Neeman Brady Max Storto Sivan Zamir 🎗️ Peter Yolles
