Imagine H2O

Imagine H2O is a global nonprofit organization and innovation accelerator dedicated to identifying and scaling technologies that address the world's most pressing water challenges. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, the organization provides early-stage startups with mentorship, market access, and seed funding through its flagship accelerator and regional programs like Imagine H2O Asia. While its primary focus is water security and sustainability, the organization plays a vital role in public health by supporting companies specializing in wastewater epidemiology, pathogen detection, and decentralized sanitation. To date, Imagine H2O has supported over 150 startups that have collectively raised more than $1 billion in investment capital. By bridging the gap between entrepreneurs and the public and private sectors, the organization accelerates the deployment of solutions for water scarcity, quality, and health.
