Venture Capitalists Ratchet Up Their Investments in the Water Industry

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 08, 2006 ) PRINCETON, N.J. -- David Wanetick, Managing Director of IncreMental Advantage said, “A growing number of Venture Capitalists who invest in Alternative Energy are making investments in Water Technology companies. One reason these investors are attracted to the water industry is its sheer size: The water market is one of the world's five largest markets, amounting to $400 billion. Another reason is that despite its size, the water industry is actually demonstrating significant growth. The water industry is growing 7% annually. In comparison, the $600 billion energy market is growing 1% a year.”Wanetick continued, “We are pleased to provide investors with a rare opportunity to learn where some of the nation’s leading venture capitalists are placing their bets in the water industry. We have assembled a stellar panel of early-stage investors – including Ira Ehrenpreis, General Partner, Technology Partners; Joseph Culley, Principal, Janney Montgomery Scott; Marty Lagod, Fireside Capital; William Donovan, Director, A.G. Edwards; Christoph Lueneburger, Principal, 3Stone Advisors LLC – who will share their rationale, methodology and best investment ideas.”IncreMental Advantage will run its much heralded Profiting in the Water Industry Conference on December 4, 2006 in San Francisco.
