The Global H2O Initiative, P.B.C. is the Delaware public benefit corporation that trades as HOPE Hydration, a certified B Corporation that designs, builds and operates free public drinking water refill stations. Its HydroStations pair a filtered, chilled water dispenser with a 55 inch digital screen, so brand advertising on the screen pays for the hardware and the water and the host venue is charged nothing. The stations are placed in city centres, stadiums, airports, commercial buildings and large events, and the company reported more than two million refills delivered since 2023. It raised a 20 million dollar Series A in July 2025 to expand the network internationally, and its SEC Form D for that round recorded 26.3 million dollars of equity sold to 35 investors. The founders are Jorge Richardson, Cristina Gnecco and Dave Tigue.

The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of The Global H2O Initiative, P.B.C. where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
