About
Burnt Island Ventures is the world's leading venture capital firm focused exclusively on the $1.6 trillion water technology market, founded in 2020 by water industry veteran Tom Ferguson, who previously led the Imagine H2O accelerator for over five years. The firm identifies, funds, and scales early-stage companies solving the most pressing challenges across the global water value chain — including advanced treatment and filtration, water data and AI tools, infrastructure resilience, climate adaptation, and water reuse. Its debut $30 million Fund I is fully deployed across 18 portfolio companies with two exits and top-decile performance; Fund II closed at $50 million in October 2025 with anchor investment from Xylem. Partners Christine E. Boyle (founder of YC-backed Valor Water Analytics, acquired by Xylem) and Steve Kloos (former GE Water senior leader) bring deep operational and investment expertise to complement the firm's sector-specialist approach.
