What Waterplan does

Waterplan (legal entity Climateplan Inc.) is an AI-native SaaS platform that helps water-dependent enterprises measure, report, and respond to water-related risks and stewardship obligations across global operations. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company serves Operations, EHS, and Sustainability teams in industries with significant water exposure, including food and beverage, consumer goods, data centers, manufacturing, and mining. Named customers include Danone, ABInBev, AWS, Colgate-Palmolive, Brown-Forman, Nestlé Waters, Mars Food and Nutrition, Conagra, EdgeConneX, Tronox, and Amazon, reflecting an enterprise-only, field-sales-led go-to-market.

The platform is built on a proprietary multi-agent AI architecture comprising specialized agents (OrchestratorAgent, UserContextAgent, RiskFrameworkAgent, WaterStewardshipAgent) that process structured water data from hundreds of sources, including satellite imagery, IoT sensors, GRACE, GLoFAS, ERA5, NASA SMAP, and OPENET datasets, alongside expert-validated local water information. The product portfolio is organized around three platform modules — Measure (data integration and risk scoring), Report (automated disclosure outputs against CDP, ESRS, GRI, TCFD, SBTi, CSRD, SASB, ISSB), and Respond (contextual target setting and stewardship project management) — complemented by five solutions: Water Risk, Water Stewardship, AI Metering (anomaly detection), Carbon, and Site Screening (data center due diligence). A multi-agent assistant provides conversational access to platform data.

Waterplan operates a fully-remote, venture-backed private business with 51-100 employees and total disclosed funding of approximately $18.15 million across seed, Series A, and grant rounds, the largest being an oversubscribed $11 million Series A led by Base10 Partners in May 2023. Revenue is generated through annual enterprise subscriptions priced on a quote basis relative to scope, with contractually capped annual price increases of up to 4%, supplemented by professional services for implementation, consulting, and integration. Geographic reach spans North America and South America with active expansion signals in Europe and the data-center hyperscaler vertical.
