A venture studio for climate & democracy

We’re living through a cascade of critical challenges. Climate, democracy, technology, inequality.

In moments like this, progress demands more than conviction or capital. It takes deep system insight, sharp strategy, and focused delivery.

We work with ambitious
philanthropists who want to define the future of climate and democracy.

We’re Watershed.

A venture studio for
climate and democracy.

We take on projects where we can have the biggest impact. Neglected issue spaces. Campaigns with the scale to truly shift the dial. A key moment, or long-term approach. A new organisation required. A network with latent power to be unleashed.
