Water Startups Thrive Amid Funding Contraction

Water-focused startups experience robust funding despite global venture contraction, with a focus on water purification and conservation. Notable companies like Gradiant and Source secure significant investments, while recent funding includes Avnos closing a $36 million Series A round and 120Water securing $43 million in growth financing.
