GAST Clearwater continues to electrify the water treatment industry with its revolutionary and visionary treatment technologies. It has been dubbed the "Tesla of Water" due to some of its technologies utilizing electricity to treat water. This exciting new company has also been named one of the planet's most advanced water treatment companies.

Over the last 36 months, it is evident that the investment industry has made a significant shift regarding water technologies and the infrastructure industry as a whole. The United Nation's water treatment conference in March in New York was an indication that the world's water crisis has been placed squarely on the map. As multiple high-value and high-profile deals have been concluded over the last few months, it is no surprise that Draper has entered the space by backing GAST Clearwater.

"We cannot be more excited about our Draper partnership; we have been fortunate to have had multiple options for this round and also found the extensive due diligence process of Draper comforting to know that our potential future partner fully understands our business and technologies. Tim Draper backed Elon Musk with entities with bold missions, and not to disappoint, I think our mission to provide Water for Mankind™ is on track to change industry norms, electrifying one drop at a time," said Mr. Kevin Gast, Co-Founder & CEO of GAST Clearwater.
