The Norfolk-based start-up raised the capital from Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital to support its environmental monitoring technology.
"When WATR pitched to our members they were immediately impressed by the mission to improve water conditions around the world. Businesses with a focus on sustainability are increasingly seeing success in gaining early-stage funding as more of our members seek to invest in companies which are having a positive impact on the environment. We wish WATR every success for the future and look forward to seeing them go from strength to strength"
The Bristol-based start-up secured the backing from Builders Vision to advance its microplastic capture solutions.

This is intrinsically aligned to what we have set out to achieve with Matter. We are thrilled to welcome Peter and his team into the Matter family and the added value they have already brought was instrumental in our choice to bring them on to the cap table."
