The $200M Unconventional Exit of Cambrian: Great or Bittersweet?
Manage episode 431556332 series 3292025
In November 2023, Cambrian announced a $200 Million Growth Equity commitment from Pennybacker. That came along a bizarre move: Pennybacker was also acquiring Cambrian (for an undisclosed amount).
So, what's to think of this? What factors led to this unconventional move? Why would I feel there's a bittersweet taste to it? What does it actually mean for other water tech companies? Why is it great news for early-stage water investors? And... who's Cambrian, if you never heard of them?
Let's explore!
