It's official!! I'm thrilled to share 120Water has secured $43M investment backed by Edison Partners. This is an extremely important milestone for the business as we prepare for the next chapter of growth at 120WA by continuing our focus to support the water industry and its current and emerging challenges that the sector faces. This milestone would not have been possible without my cofounders Chris Baggott and Dave Kohl who believed back in 2016 there was a better way to test water from the tap. We believed it and built it within 90 days! Something I'm still in awe of! Thank you for trusting me and the vision we had to build something from nothing. Our early investors are still our biggest champions; and please know, I appreciate each and every one of you. You were the first to commit when many turned us away and for that I am forever grateful. Last but certainly not least to our team and customers (present and past)...you ARE 120Water. It is an honor to get up every single day and work with you and through our customers to solve some of the most critical problems facing our sector today. I hope we can all look back years to come (likely when I'm with my grandchildren) and say we played a tiny part in the over all solution. That's a mission worth getting up every day for. What's next? One of the reasons we selected Edison Partners is because they proved to us that are committed to 120Water's vision and becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be. So, we're going to do just that. I could not be more excited to lead 120Water through this next chapter. Onward!  #120Water #FundingAnnouncement #water #watercompliance #lcrr #gettheleadout #watercompliance #govtech #bawow P.S. We're hiring! Come join us!

Improving #waterinfrastructure and #waterquality is a must-solve problem for the country (and the world). 93% of water utilities in the US serve populations of 10,000 people or less. and 85% of utilities operate with 3 or fewer employees. I'll never forget my first water conference where I met some of the most servant-oriented folks who care deeply about their place (like Cathy Bernardino Bailey). Water operators and water professionals are motivated to serve their communities. What they do is more than their job—it's their mission. Yet, the burden of operating a water utility without insufficient financial and people resources in a regulatory environment that is increasing the workload creates an urgent need to develop tools and technology that serve water professionals across the spectrum (utilities, facilities, state and federal agencies, etc.). When I joined 120Water in 2018, we had less than 10 customers. Last year we 📈 Started the year with ~500 customers and grew our licensed customer base to more than 5500! (Yes, we're hiring more Customer Success Managers) 🚀 Launched a new platform for State Agencies to manage water quality compliance as it relates to #LCRR (Yes, we're hiring more Software Engineers) 🚰 Classified nearly 5M service lines as the nation embarks on a monumental effort to #GetTheLeadOut (or #GLO as Radhika Fox and Wendi Wilkes from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) say 😀) 👥 Built a high-performing team (hitting 8 straight quarters doesn't just happen by accident, right Matthew Boes... and Yes, we're hiring in Sales and our BDR orgs) This investment from Edison Partners will be focused on building a world-class team and platform to meet the water quality compliance demands of today and the future. And we're just getting started. Megan Casey Glover Chris Baggott Dave Kohl Imagine H2O Revolution
