Badwater Alchemy Technologies Inc., a pioneering startup, was founded by a scientist with a breakthrough water desalination technology capable of operating at just 10% of the cost of traditional methods. However, as a company led by scientists, it lacked the financial and business strategy necessary to commercialize its technology. Cascade Capital was engaged to model the company, determine its valuation, and secure the necessary funding to bring this game-changing innovation to market.

• Developing a comprehensive business model tailored to the commercialization of the desalination technology.
• Identifying and hiring a CEO to lead the company's strategic growth.
• Designing a capital strategy, proposing the development of mobile desalination units—20’ containerized systems powered by solar panels, each capable of producing 250,000 gallons per day using just 110 watts of power.
• Structuring the business to allow scalability by enabling up to 20 modular units to work together, increasing output to 2.5 million gallons per day.
• Leading the friends and family financing round, ensuring early-stage support and buy-in.
• Successfully raising $5 million in a seed round at a $20 million pre-money valuation, providing the capital needed to further develop and commercialize the technology.
