About

Echo River Capital is a venture capital firm focused on solving global water challenges through investments in early-stage water technology companies. Founded by Peter Yolles, the firm targets the “Three D’s of Watertech”—Digitizing, Decarbonizing, and Decentralizing the water cycle. This approach aims to create innovative solutions that address critical issues like water scarcity, pollution, and climate resilience. The firm is committed to supporting companies that align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly clean water and sanitation. Echo River Capital primarily invests in pre-seed and seed-stage companies with validated technologies, typically with a focus on water management, conservation, and purification. Their portfolio includes startups like Aclarity, which destroys harmful PFAS chemicals in water, and DigitalPaani, an IoT platform for wastewater systems. The fund's investments are global, with a strong presence in both the U.S. and India, and aim to generate both market-rate financial returns and measurable environmental impacts. In addition to capital, Echo River offers strategic support to portfolio companies through impact measurement tools tailored for early-stage startups. This helps them track metrics such as water saved, pollution reduced, and greenhouse gas emissions avoided. By fostering innovative water solutions, Echo River Capital plays a pivotal role in addressing some of the world’s most pressing water-related challenges.
