AQUAOSO and the Techstars Sustainability Accelerator – on the Mark Haney Podcast
How the 2019 Techastars Sustainability Accelerator put AQUAOSO in a position to do more good
Overview
AQUAOSO is a graduate of the Techstars Sustainability Accelerator. Like all startups, it has had to overcome many obstacles and challenges. Unlike many startups, though, a clear driving purpose, galvanized in the Techstars program, has made overcoming those challenges a privilege rather than a chore. That purpose statement, in summary, is a water-resilient future for the whole world.
It should be easy for people to value water risk. As a public benefit corporation, the well being of people and communities, as well as the fulfillment of its mission, have always been key pillars of the AQUAOSO company DNA.
The experience at the 2019 Techstars Sustainability Accelerator has helped AQUAOSO position itself to carry out these goals.

“Using AQUAOSO has helped me cut down on research time and has provided me more water information than ever before! It is now the first step in my loan underwriting process and it has allowed me to devote more time toward expanding our loan portfolio.”
“I have been continually impressed with AQUAOSO’s commitment to customer service. We use the Mapping and Research Tool and at our request AQUAOSO expanded the information covered in their reports. This eliminated the need to visit multiple websites to gather information and we’ve been happy with the result!”
“Over the past several months of utilizing the AQUAOSO platform, it has allowed me to provide clear and concise information to our collateral department and appraisers, to speed the process along. I have also been able to utilize it in working with customers to complete required sources of irrigation forms, with information from a single source rather than sending them to chase down documents from multiple agencies. This has saved a us up to two weeks and helped us to meet deadlines.”
“I love how user friendly AQUAOSO’s research tool is and how fast it is to generate detailed water and soil reports, which are perfect for gathering parcel information for our loans.”
