Way to go Diamidex!! It is great to see Antoine Walter's (don't) Waste Water podcast to feature our portfolio company Diamidex as one of the unique water tech start-ups and technology solutions. Check out the podcast episode where CEO and founder Sam Dukan shares about their groundbreaking rapid microbial solutions company and the current crowdfunding raise, which is active on Invesdor Benelux. #WaterTech #Water #Investing #Crowdfunding #VentureCapital Alexander Crowell Job van Schelven Nic Pannekeet Gijs de Bruin Dylan Perales Xavier van Slooten Honor Meadows Liza Faber, PE Tejas Vasa Sjoerd van der Lugt

🚀 Diamidex raised 776'000€... so far! 🙋 Wanna hop on the ride? Crowdfunding is absolutely an exception among the financing routes for a #Water company... so it's hard to say what it means, on such a small sample (even with rockstars like Salinity Solutions and Kando following that path!) But if we zoom out and look at growth-stage companies overall: 🪙 In 2024, crowdfunding was less than 0.5% of the money raised 🟰 Rounds' success rate is aligned with Series A close rate (70-80%) 💰 The average crowdfunded raise was $366k ... funny stats, sure, but here's the most interesting one: 📈 Research shows an "inverted-U effect" with successful crowdfunding lifting future rounds' success probability (and already VC-backed firms raising more, and from more investors) I understand that one as: VCs see crowd endorsement as a positive signal, and the crowd equally sees VCs' due diligence as a de-risking parameter. 🤝 ... which is probably where I should mention that in Diamidex's case, PureTerra Ventures will cut a follow-on cheque to their already endorsed company in symmetry with the crowd's enthusiasm 😉 🤔 So... should you invest? I wanted to gather all the right information for that decision, so in this week's release of the #podcast, Sam Dukan gives us an open book on his rapid microbial solutions company! I had a blast recording this one (Sam is genuinely witty and brilliant) - I hope you'll have the same fun listening to it. (Listen to it even if you don't intend to invest, it's fun and full of French accent!) Find it out for yourself on your favorite podcatcher: https://lnkd.in/eq239fGAPS: Will I invest? Listen to the end of the episode 🤫
We are excited to see two of our portfolio companies, Membrion, Inc. and REDstack featured on this industrial water tech landscape by Visionaries Tomorrow. It is great to see #WaterTech get more interest and attention, lets keep the momentum going! We would also at least include KMX Technologies, and Transcend, among many others we have seen as well.

💧 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — but the market remains fragmented, opaque, and underfunded. At Visionaries Tomorrow, we’ve been exploring the startup and scaleup landscape to understand where real technical and commercial differentiation is emerging. Today, we’re sharing a curated snapshot of companies building next-gen solutions across the industrial water value chain — from real-time monitoring to selective separation and bio-based treatment. Below is a non-exhaustive overview of companies working on differentiated solutions across: 🔹 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (reverse osmosis, filtration, electrodialysis, distillation) 🔹 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 & 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (oxidation, PFAS, resource recovery) 🔹 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (membrane bioreactors, microorganisms) 🔹 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 built for operational relevance 🔹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 for industrial deployment 📊 Many of these companies are tackling horizontal pain points that cut across verticals like chemicals, paper, energy, food, and manufacturing — responding to rising water costs, growing water stress, tightening regulations, and the need to recover critical materials. We’re particularly excited about: ✅ 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 enabling cost-effective water reuse ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 for intelligent operations ✅ 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 gaining traction in hard-to-treat streams 👉 If you're building or backing in this space, we’d love to exchange thoughts. And if your startup isn’t included here, drop us a message — we’ll keep iterating.
From hose watering bans in Sweden to drought-hit Cyprus, it’s becoming increasingly clear that water stress is a Europe-wide issue — even in Northern Europe, where we’ve often taken water for granted. Some striking statistics from this Financial Times article (link in comments): 💧 On average, 25% of water in Europe is lost through leaks before it even reaches the consumer. ♻️ Only 2.4% of water is reused on-site. The EU estimates that €23 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 is needed to tackle these challenges. The European Commission is now encouraging member states to reduce water use by 10% by 2030. It’s a clear signal that efficiency, infrastructure upgrades, leak reduction, and reuse need to be prioritized. And while we fully support this direction, it’s important to note: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. It’s a recommendation — and recommendations don’t always lead to action. The good news? There’s a growing wave of innovative solutions already working on the EU’s priority areas. From (AI-powered) monitoring tools to on-site water treatment and reuse systems, at PureTerra Ventures, we see a lot of opportunity to transform how water is managed — and we've already invested in several companies that are making this shift happen.Job van Schelven Dylan Perales Honor Meadows Tejas Vasa Liza Faber, PE Gijs de Bruin Nic Pannekeet Alexander Crowell Xavier van Slooten #WaterScarcity #Sustainability #Innovation #EU #WaterReuse #ClimateResilience #CircularEconomy #Venturecapital #startups
With 9 of our 14 portfolio companies using #AI or #ML in water, what is necessary to make its uses successful? We have been exploring this conversation further with our thought partners and our portfolio company leaders. Some of our thoughts are: 1. High-Quality, Accessible Data Infrastructure 🏅: Transparency is necessary and should build trust in how the data is used. 2. Historical and Real-Time Data 🕰️: models need to learn from something and be fed by relevant data. Sensors, satellite imaging, smart meters etc. can gather real-time data on usage, contamination, weather, and infrastructure for software interpretation. By working with a range of brands makes it more applicable across many customers. 3. Scalable and Adaptable Algorithms 📏: Water is local. Adaptation across users is necessary but should be built off common scientific and engineering principles. 4. Future Scenarios ⏩: The climate is changing, water and weather patterns are changing to scenarios that have never been seen before in modern times. Building in first principals allows for new conditions to be possible in the outcomes, not limiting models to only what we have experienced and recorded in recent history. 5. Insightful results 💡: Reporting data is one thing—but turning it into actionable insights is even more valuable. Just as important is the flexibility in implementation: offering both integration with existing systems and a standalone software solution ensures seamless adoption by end customers. What do you think is necessary or desired to make AI or ML in water successful?
