LONDON, UK. February 28th, 2025 – Sun Spear Fund, an adaptive impact investment fund, today announced strategic seed investments in two pioneering technology startups addressing critical infrastructure challenges: The Charge Solution, a Cambridge University spin-out developing advanced wireless charging solutions for electric vehicles and Aqua Eye Tech, a Manila-based startup creating innovative IoT water management systems.
The investments reflect Sun Spear’s distinctive approach to identifying transformative technologies in spaces where traditional investors often hesitate. Both companies represent breakthrough innovations in their respective fields, with applications that address pressing environmental and infrastructure challenges across different geographies.
“These investments exemplify our approach to identifying patterns that others overlook and deploying capital where it can create optimal impact,” said David Meyer, Investment Director at Sun Spear Fund. “We see patterns emerging in both wireless charging and water management that signal major shifts in how these critical systems will function in the coming decades.”
The Charge Solution is developing advanced wireless charging technology for electric vehicles and autonomous systems using resonant electromagnetic induction. The company’s proprietary Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer technology enables vehicles to charge while in motion, potentially revolutionising EV adoption by reducing battery size requirements and extending driving range. The technology achieves 90-93% efficiency, comparable to conventional plug-in charging systems, while eliminating the need for physical connections. This position tolerance capability offers significant advantages for fleet operations, autonomous vehicles and public charging infrastructure.
Aqua Eye is developing sophisticated water management solutions using IoT technology and advanced analytics. The Manila-based startup’s integrated platform provides real-time monitoring, leak detection and predictive maintenance capabilities for urban water infrastructure. This technology addresses critical water security challenges in rapidly developing urban centres throughout Southeast Asia, offering substantial improvements in efficiency, sustainability and resource conservation. The system’s ability to detect leaks and optimise distribution could save millions of gallons of water annually in water-stressed regions.
These investments align with Sun Spear Fund’s philosophy of adaptive capital deployment – identifying opportunities where others see uncertainty and building positions that anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. The fund takes a measured approach to impact, believing that meaningful change requires both vision and precision.
“We don’t chase trends, we trace patterns,” explained Meyer. “Our investment thesis centres on identifying the spaces between conventional thinking where true innovation thrives. Both The Charge Solution and Aqua Eye operate in these intervals, developing solutions that address fundamental infrastructure challenges in novel ways.”
Sun Spear will take board observer positions with both companies, providing strategic guidance as they scale operations and enter their respective markets. The investments reflect Sun Spear’s focus on infrastructure solutions and environmental sustainability within its broader portfolio strategy.
The funding will support product development, team expansion and market entry strategies for both companies. Financial terms of the investments were not disclosed.
