Company mission

To empower exceptional entrepreneurs everywhere to change the world for good.

Our take

The billion dollar consumer tech industry is one set to grow by around 10% over the next decade. Technologies like artificial intelligence and the internet of things are re-shaping the industry, meaning it's an exciting space to be a part of. Goodwater, a consumer tech investor, is diving into the space with what it claims to be the world’s first regenerative investment platform.

Goodwater operates an open-minded policy for its investments, to give space for early and growth stage companies to bring their ideas to life. It supports them through initial steps, as well as accelerating progress when they are ready to scale. Importantly, the company also redirects its profits back into its portfolio companies, "closing the loop" on its regenerative approach.

Since founding in 2014 the company has grown impressively, with 79 venture and growth investments made across 50+ countries. Goodwater is now known to be the largest venture capital fund in the consumer tech space, and has been a part of the journey for the likes of musical.ly and Monzo.
