Dear ,
March 2015
It is encouraging to me, as a venture capitalist, that in the last 12 months, we have received an increasing number of inquiries about investment opportunities, new technologies and promising start-ups in the water sector. The Water Network is becoming a clearing house for deals with over 8000 companies represented, a critical mass of investors, and our new Organization listing.
 
RaVio and Liquidity are great examples of a new generation of water start-ups that are making waves. 
 
If you need innovative water solutions, have great technology or are an investor looking for deals, I would love to hear from you and show you how The Water Network can help.
 
Kind regards,
Trudi Schifter, Founder and CEO, AquaSPE AG
