SwiftComply, a leading provider of water and wastewater compliance software supporting over 300 cities in 45 states across North America, announced that it has secured a strategic investment from M33 Growth, a Boston-based venture and growth stage investment firm. This investment aims to accelerate SwiftComply’s growth by fueling innovation, expanding its product capabilities, and delivering exceptional value to water utilities.
Founded in 2016 in Ireland by wastewater engineer Mick O’Dwyer, SwiftComply expanded to the United States in 2018, establishing its headquarters in Pleasanton, California. The company has since expanded its product offerings to create a comprehensive water and wastewater compliance platform with compliance solutions addressing FOG, pretreatment, backflow, and stormwater needs.
Noncompliance with water regulations can lead to public health crises, such as the contamination of drinking water, sewer system blockages, and the discharge of hazardous pollutants into water supplies, highlighting the critical role of utilities in enforcing and maintaining these safeguards. Without a modern solution, municipalities face limited visibility into compliance rates, inefficient resource allocation due to manual tracking, and struggle to provide accurate reports to the state. SwiftComply addresses these pain points by offering real-time data solutions that enable water professionals to proactively manage compliance programs, streamline workflows, and improve public health and environmental safety.
“M33 is proud to be working with SwiftComply to increase their capabilities and market presence through this investment,” said Brian Shortsleeve, Co-Founder and Managing Director of M33 Growth. "In just a few short years, Mick and the team have built a robust platform that we believe has proven to be a game-changer for addressing water and wastewater compliance needs. Their software has attracted a lot of interest, which in our view is demonstrative of the ubiquity of the need as well as reflective of the positive reception from its customer base.”
The SwiftComply team is comprised of industry experts, including former consultants and water utility managers, representing over 100 years of collective experience in the space. Their collective expertise has played a pivotal role in establishing the brand’s reputation as one of the few solutions developed by professionals with firsthand industry experience. Founder Mick O’Dwyer will maintain his leadership position as CEO as the company seeks to further build out the team to support future growth.
“On behalf of SwiftComply, I’m thrilled to welcome M33 as a partner in our mission to modernize how water systems are managed,” said Mick O’Dwyer, Founder and CEO of SwiftComply. “When I founded SwiftComply, it was driven by a vision to solve a critical, overlooked challenge: the disconnect between regulators and businesses, compounded by outdated record-keeping practices. By streamlining communication and operations, we’re empowering our customers to achieve more efficient, sustainable outcomes—helping to ensure the health and longevity of our water systems for generations to come.”
