Water Standard Company (WSC) is currently privately held and funded. We have received commitments of up to $250 million in equity to develop our Seawater Desalination Vessels, whose environmentally focused technologies can help ease the world’s growing water crisis.

This pledge of equity, believed to be the largest initial funding of a startup in the water industry, is unprecedented in the desalination sector. Complemented by our technology, professional staff, and business plan, it will enable WSC to rapidly penetrate the fast-growing global desalination market.

While not financially involved in this funding, Goldman Sachs & Co. has closely followed Water Standard Company’s progress. Deane M. Dray, CFA of Goldman Sachs, has stated, "We consider Water Standard to be one of the most exciting stories in the global water sector."
