Epic Cleantec, has announced the close of its $12 million Series B funding round, positioning the company for rapid expansion. This investment will accelerate the deployment of Epic’s pioneering water reuse systems across commercial and residential real estate projects globally, cementing its role as a leader in the industry.
Recently ranked #1 on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list (10-100 employees), Epic has achieved milestones in water reuse by commissioning some of the first onsite reuse projects in water-scarce regions of the U.S. Now, the company is set to make history by bringing water reuse systems to high-rises in major cities nationwide.
Epic’s growing portfolio includes high-profile clients such as Salesforce, Related, Crescent Heights, and Strada Investment Group. These collaborations underscore the growing demand for resilient water solutions amid intensifying water scarcity and extreme weather events.
Epic’s OneWater system is transforming water management in iconic projects, including:
Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills: Recycling greywater for lush landscaping.
Salesforce Tower, San Francisco: Operating the most extensive onsite blackwater system in a U.S. commercial building, saving 7.8 million gallons annually.
Fifteen Fifty, San Francisco: Running the city’s first approved greywater system.
Kuilei Place, Honolulu: Delivering Honolulu’s first onsite greywater reuse system for a 43-story residential tower.
The Campus at Horton, San Diego: Recycling an estimated 7.5 million gallons annually as part of an adaptive reuse project.
Epic’s award-winning OneWater system recycles up to 95% of wastewater for non-potable applications such as toilet flushing, irrigation, cooling towers, and laundry. By slashing potable water demand, the system supports sustainability goals and saves building owners hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in water and sewer costs.
“With aging infrastructure, rapid urban growth, and rising utility costs, more building owners are choosing onsite water reuse as a strategic investment,” said Aaron Tartakovsky, co-founder and CEO of Epic Cleantec. “Onsite reuse isn’t just about conserving water; it’s about equipping properties to thrive amid future uncertainties. This latest funding reflects the extraordinary demand for our adaptable water solutions, which transform projects into cornerstones of sustainable urban infrastructure.”
The family office of Drs led the Series B round. Kathy Fields and Garry Rayant noted entrepreneurs, impact investors, and philanthropists known for their commitment to sustainability, healthcare, and technology. “We are thrilled to partner with the Epic team as they pioneer groundbreaking solutions to urban water challenges,” said Drs. Fields and Rayant. “Their innovative approach not only addresses immediate water scarcity issues but also lays the foundation for resilient, sustainable cities, aligning perfectly with our commitment to big, impactful, world-changing ideas.” They are joined by existing investors J-Ventures, Echo River Capital, and other prominent family offices with deep real estate ties. Epic will use the funding to scale operations, advance product development, and drive further adoption of water reuse systems across the U.S. and around the world.
Epic is more than a technology provider; it’s a thought leader shaping the future of urban water systems. The company has showcased its innovations at influential events like the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Water Conference, and the White House as states and cities roll out new water reuse regulations—epic partners with policymakers, developers, and communities to create a sustainable water future.
