Vita Mareen Schneider auf Linkedin

Mareen Schneider founded Grasshopper Investments in 2009. A lawyer by education with a focus on capital markets and international business law - she set up Grasshopper to channel private investment into water using innovative business models and investable concepts. Her goal: complete solutions that combine strong water project design with solid financing.

Water is still a relatively unknown topic and often needs explanations. At the same time, Grasshopper holds an almost unique position in "water project development combined with private investments"; there are very few comparable companies worldwide. Mareen has international experience in the water sector, especially in Asia (with a focus on India and China) and the Middle East (GCC countries), alongside her own roots in Europe.

Competence, Experience & Innovations in Water 

WORKING WITH PARTNERS

Clean water is a fascinating and always interdisciplinary topic. It brings together microbiology, water chemistry, medicine, several branches of engineering, and social and political aspects — along with economics, finance, and law. Our experience shows that water projects succeed only when knowledge is combined and the right experts and partners are involved - from technical planning and technology choice to long-term operation and financing. With this in mind, we work with specialized partners and cooperate with institutions across the water sector and the world of finance and investments.

Grasshopper is a German investment company specializing in water investments for sustainable water infrastructure. Since 2009, we are contributing to bridging the global water finance gap by creating investable, scalable and technology-focused opportunities for professional investors.

While less than 2% of global water investments currently come from private capital, Grasshopper is changing that - by structuring Blue Bonds and Private Placements that enable participation in large-scale water technology projects with measurable environmental and social impact.

Our projects focus exclusively on proven water treatment and supply technologies - excluding construction risks - and are integrated into major public water infrastructures.

Grasshopper stands for ethical, transparent, and entrepreneurial approaches that turn global water challenges into investable opportunities - for investors who want to make water part of their investment strategy.
