A venture capital firm focused on funding water entrepreneurs and startups in the water sector.

Burnt Island Ventures

We are at a turning point. From the wildfires of the Western US to flooding in Niger, climate change is here. Water resources across the world will be under increasing stress as the world warms. Products and services that allow individuals, governments and companies to navigate this change will see more and more demand. Entrepreneurs are emerging with the skill and insight to meet that demand, developing solutions to water problems at scale. Burnt Island Ventures exists to find, fund and support the best of these founders.

Fund 1: Done. ✅ $30M in the bank to back the world's greatest water startups. Forbes reporter Rebecca Szkutak did a phenomenal job telling Tom Ferguson's story. Now: onwards! https://lnkd.in/ewakDhYe

SewerAI enables utilities to focus on what's important, solving a massive problem in sewer inspection and an even larger impact on the sustainability and efficiency of our cities. Their increasingly large list of customers is just beginning to grow. Huge congrats to Matthew Rosenthal, Billy Gilmartin and the entire SewerAI team on their $15M Series B. Onward!

Well this is fun, many many thanks to Shane Dyer and Irrigreen for including us in their piece on CNBC (which is excellent). You keep saving FIFTY PERCENT of outdoor water y’all. Amazing work

Huge thank you to Nick van Osdol for hosting Tom Ferguson on the 68th episode of The Keep Cool podcast to talk about why water is an under-discussed, under-invested in, and under-resourced category. And even more importantly, how change is happening. Tune in below...

We talk a lot about founder market fit. It's a crucial component of founder selection because of the simple fact that founders who really understand their industries are very unlikely to build something that people don't want. There is no gap between the perceived reality of their market and the actual reality of their market. An awful lot of venture funding is burned bridging that gap. Alongside his co-founder, Glenn Stewart, CPA, Paul Vacquier has built Beagle Services, Inc., a new generation of plumbing company, in direct response to his experience in attempting to roll out IoT units in the market, and it's going rather well. He is a powerful combination of litigator, salesman, and leader, wrapped in a cloak of relentlessness that is required for his market. And his market is rewarding his approach at increasing scale. You'll see why. Please enjoy my conversation with Paul Vacquier. 

Tune into our seventeenth episode of The Fundamental Molecule featuring Paul Vacquier, Founder and CEO at Beagle Services, Inc.
