About Peter Yolles
Peter Yolles is a former water-tech founder who co-founded and led WaterSmart Software to serve 200 utility customers and 20+ million people before its acquisition, and now applies that rare 0→1 startup experience directly to early-stage water investing at Echo River Capital. He brings an unusual combination of a Yale MBA in finance and a master's degree in water science/policy/management, plus asks founders about their personal North Star before discussing business metrics, creating a values-forward approach that resonates with mission-driven water entrepreneurs.
