Founded in 2019, Avant runs one play over and over: aggregate the acreage bigger operators skip, turn it into producing wells, and monetize at the top of the cycle. Two exits and a billion-dollar fund later, the formula is holding.
Hydraloop
Hydraloop is a Dutch water technology company that makes compact, in-home and in-building water recycling systems. Its certified, chemical-free devices collect and clean up to 85% of a household's water - from showers, baths, washing machines and air-conditioning condensation - and return it for toilet flushing, laundry, garden irrigation and pool top-up, cutting fresh water use and sewage output by up to 45%. Founded in 2015 by Arthur Valkieser and Sabine Stuiver, the company won CES 2020's 'Best of the Best' award and a 2022 UN WIPO Global Award, and sells decentralized greywater systems to homeowners, developers and the hospitality sector worldwide.
