The Stream (with Will & Tom)

Ep 8: Calling time on water’s echo chamber with Alexander Crowell

Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg Season 2 Episode 8

In this week’s episode, Alex Crowell, managing director of PureTerra Ventures, joins Will and Tom to talk about the company’s investment team that created a complete dossier on more than 1000 water technology companies globally.


Plus, Alex tells us why he's concerned about the current lack of investment in water and why he thinks a grand experiment is needed to force people to value water. 


Alex also gives us his views on acquisitions and exits in the global water space, including the recent $1 billion digital purchase and a 5 million euro investment into PureTerra from entrepreneur Shawn Harris plus much, much more!
