Frequently asked questions
Which sectors does Watershed explicitly avoid?
Watershed does not invest in carbon-offset marketplaces, nature-based carbon sequestration projects, or project-finance-heavy infrastructure plays. The firm also avoids consumer applications and generalist SaaS companies that lack a direct emissions-reduction mechanism. The thesis is confined to enterprise software that enables measurable carbon reduction, reporting, or industrial process optimization.
How does Watershed source its deal flow?
The firm sources primarily through climate-policy networks and technical-founder referrals rather than traditional venture networks. Its principals' operating backgrounds in climate regulation and enterprise software create deal flow from founders exiting policy roles, academic labs, and climatetech accelerators focused on measurement and reporting tooling.
