In November 2023, Cambrian announced a $200 Million Growth Equity commitment from Pennybacker. That came along a bizarre move: Pennybacker was also acquiring Cambrian (for an undisclosed amount).

So, what's to think of this? What factors led to this unconventional move? Why would I feel there's a bittersweet taste to it? What does it actually mean for other water tech companies? Why is it great news for early-stage water investors? And... who's Cambrian, if you never heard of them?

▶️ Key Ideas

1. WaterCredit’s Impact: WaterCredit has provided loans totaling $5.5 billion, impacting 66 million people, with a 98% repayment rate.

2. Philanthropy as a Catalyst: Traditional philanthropic approaches often involve one-time spending. In contrast, Water.org creates a sustainable cycle of investment and repayment.

3. Challenges in Water Access: Water.org’s dual approach—bottom-up financing for immediate needs and top-down investment for infrastructure—addresses these challenges comprehensively.

4. Importance of Women in Water Solutions: Empowering women with access to loans for water solutions has broader social benefits, including improved health, education, and economic opportunities.

5. Sustainability and Climate Resilience: Water.org emphasizes the need for climate-resilient infrastructure, ensuring that water solutions are sustainable in the face of environmental changes.

6. Global Collaboration: Water.org collaborates with a network of 140 financial institutions worldwide, facilitating access to water solutions tailored to local needs.

7. Role of Governments and Institutions: While private sector innovation drives much of Water.org’s work, governments and international institutions play a critical role in scaling these solutions.

8. Educating Stakeholders: Public perception and education are crucial. Water.org’s success stories and data-driven approach help change narratives around water access.

9. Future Goals: Water.org aims to reach 100 million people with an additional $1 billion in investment capital. Their long-term vision includes comprehensive water access solutions that integrate both individual and infrastructure needs.

Gary White, co-founder of Water.org, has been at the forefront of innovative solutions for water access. Alongside Matt Damon, White has provided water and sanitation to over 66 million people through the WaterCredit program. Unlike traditional charity models, WaterCredit offers loans to individuals for water and sanitation projects, which are repaid at a remarkable 98% rate. This approach not only empowers individuals but also creates a sustainable financial model by recycling philanthropic funds.

White highlights the significant role of women in this model, as 90% of the borrowers are women. These loans, averaging $377, enable access to essential water and sanitation services, improving health, education, and economic outcomes. The impact is profound: with every loan repaid, the funds can be reused to help more people, creating a multiplier effect.

One of the key challenges addressed by Water.org is the need for infrastructure in rural areas. While WaterCredit addresses immediate needs through microloans, Water Equity, another initiative by White, focuses on investing in water infrastructure projects. This dual approach ensures that both individual and community needs are met, providing a comprehensive solution to water access.

Water.org’s innovative financial models also emphasize climate resilience. Their projects incorporate environmental impact studies, ensuring that water solutions are sustainable and adaptable to climate change. This forward-thinking approach is crucial for long-term water security.

Collaboration is at the heart of Water.org’s strategy. With a network of 140 financial institutions worldwide, they tailor solutions to local needs, ensuring effectiveness and sustainability. This extensive partnership network is vital for scaling their impact and reaching more communities.

While private sector innovation drives much of Water.org’s success, White acknowledges the critical role of governments and international institutions. Collaborative efforts are necessary to bridge the financing gap and ensure universal access to safe water and sanitation. Institutions like the World Bank are increasingly recognizing the value of Water.org’s models and incorporating them into their platforms.

Public perception and education are also crucial. Changing narratives around water access from a charity issue to a viable market opportunity is essential for attracting investment and support. Water.org’s data-driven approach and success stories play a significant role in this.

Looking ahead, Water.org aims to reach 100 million people with an additional $1 billion in investment capital. Their vision includes integrating individual and infrastructure needs, ensuring comprehensive and sustainable water access solutions. By continuing to innovate and collaborate, Water.org is set to make significant strides toward global water security.
