Nearly two billion people still live without access to safe water—while billions of investment dollars sit on the sidelines. In this episode, we speak with Genevieve Edens from WaterEquity, the first impact investment fund focused entirely on solving the global water and sanitation crisis.
Backed by Matt Damon and Gary White, WaterEquity was built to fill a clear gap: channeling capital to underserved communities through market-based solutions. Genevieve walks us through how the fund evolved out of water.org, why microfinance is a powerful tool for access, and how they’ve structured investment strategies to serve both financial and social returns.
We discuss:
- How catalytic capital and blended finance can move the needle in overlooked sectors
- What it takes to de-risk water infrastructure projects in emerging markets
- Why impact reporting—and listening to the people most affected—matters
- What success looks like beyond traditional ROI
Whether you're in finance, development, or just want a clearer picture of how global water access can scale, this episode offers a grounded look at the intersection of money, infrastructure, and public health.
