WAAS

Aquaventure Holdings Limited

A provider of "Water-as-a-Service" — building, owning, and running desalination, wastewater, and drinking-water systems for governments, hotels, and businesses, mostly in the Caribbean and the Americas. Founded in 2006 by Douglas Brown and former colleagues from the water firm Ionics, it grew through its Seven Seas Water and Quench cooler brands before being bought by Culligan in 2020. Its name blends "aqua" (water) with "venture," a nod to its mission of serving water-scarce markets.
