Waterplan, based in San Francisco, CA, was founded by Jose Ignacio Galindo, a tech entrepreneur, and Nico Wertheimer, a social entrepreneur specializing in water sustainability.
The founders identified a critical blind spot in global business: while water is foundational to industrial growth and agricultural supply chains, companies historically lacked the data, technology, and real-time insights required to manage water risk proactively. Driven by a shared vision to bridge this gap, they built Waterplan to transform reactive water management into data-driven decision-making.
Waterplan is an AI-native operations and sustainability platform designed for water-dependent industries. Beyond usual metrics, Waterplan makes green water flows visible by tracking the rainfall that sustains the forests, crops, and natural landscapes that global supply chains rely on. By combining AI, high-resolution local data, and water expertise, the platform translates complex environmental science into practical, site-specific business intelligence.
Waterplan empowers companies to protect and restore the natural ecosystems behind their operations, ensuring that water stewardship commitments translate into measurable, landscape-level actions.
