Investment thesis

Goodwater Capital invests in consumer technology, believing it can measurably improve billions of lives worldwide. Rather than reviewing thousands of pitches, the firm concentrates on a small number of exceptional consumer tech entrepreneurs, deploying $5M to $50M and supporting companies from Series A through IPO. It combines a software-enabled model with values-driven practices, giving founders proprietary data, concierge services, startup curriculum, strategic advice, network access, and community content. Guided by values of integrity, quality, transparency, humility, service, and justice, the firm aims to help startups scale to millions of customers and billions in value while delivering strong outcomes for entrepreneurs, employees, LPs, and society.
