Water-tech startup GeoGrid has secured an investment from Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm 500 Global. The amount of the investment was not disclosed.

GeoGrid has developed “BLOS (Building Oasis),” a building-level water purification solution.
This technology addresses the issue of aging pipes and improves water quality to a drinkable level.
It provides sterilization, rust, and scale removal functions without replacing existing pipes, enabling the supply of clean water from every tap within a building.
In addition, it provides real-time water quality data, allowing continuous monitoring and management of water quality and pipe conditions throughout the building.

500 Global is a global venture capital firm that has invested in more than 3,000 startups across over 80 countries, and has discovered more than 50 unicorn companies.
Through this investment, GeoGrid will be able to further strengthen its global network and market expansion strategy.

GeoGrid has identified Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North America as its key target markets.
The company plans to supply solutions optimized for the water quality challenges and regulatory conditions of each region.
Recently, GeoGrid signed an agreement with PT Dongbang Development in Indonesia, achieving its first overseas export, and is currently promoting adoption of its technology in large buildings, hotels, and public infrastructure across Southeast Asia.

Eunhye Shin, Senior Investment Associate at 500 Global, stated:

“As the global water industry rapidly grows due to aging infrastructure, stronger environmental regulations, and climate change-driven water security issues,
GeoGrid’s technology is well positioned to generate global demand in line with increased investments from both governments and the private sector.”

Kim Ki-hyun, CEO of GeoGrid, said:

“This investment from 500 Global opens up an important opportunity for GeoGrid to play a key role in the global water industry.
We will further strengthen our technology and expand our presence in international markets, contributing to solving global water quality challenges.”

Based on this investment, GeoGrid plans to expand its collaboration with global corporations and government institutions, establish overseas bases, and actively promote its entry into international markets.
In the long term, the company aims to establish itself as a leading global water-tech enterprise.
