Purpose
It has been rightly said, “Prove a technology, become a millionaire. Scale a technology, become a billionaire.” WAVE is building a portfolio of companies that deploy large scale efficiencies in solving some of the deepest problems affecting the essential markets – clean energy, food, water, and waste – that provide the foundation for strong growth and profitability.
Impact on the Markets
We look for business models that are acceptable, affordable and financeable TODAY. Our investments are creating new sectors of employment, improving energy-water-food infrastructure, and reducing waste – all without public subsidies. Since they provide innovative alternatives that alter the fundamental economics of businesses, their influences are broad and long lasting.

Impact on the Environment
Positive impact on the environment is a natural by-product of WAVE’s investment activity. Every portfolio company reduces resource consumption, enhances efficiency and contributes to a more sustainable environment. For example, AAC’s insulation reduces energy use by 70% and eliminates spoilage of foods and medicines. GCS recycles waste into renewable fuel. Gradiant recycles industrial wastewater. Intellihot and Heatworks save energy and water. And Lionano accelerates the global transition to electric cars.
