INVESTORS | M33 Growth
Somebody has to prove the water is safe. That somebody is drowning in paperwork.
SwiftComply gives water utilities the software to monitor, manage, and report compliance across backflow prevention, industrial pretreatment, fats, oils and grease, and stormwater. Regulatory obligations that used to live in spreadsheets and filing cabinets now run as workflows. Founded in 2016 and based in Dublin, Ireland.

PLACEMENTS
-
Selling compliance software to municipal water utilities is a credibility and category education problem rather than a demand generation one. The buyer is a public authority with a procurement process and a regulator.
Closed in 46 days. 213 executives evaluated.
-
Four compliance programmes, each with its own regulatory logic, across utilities of wildly different sizes. The mandate was to make that coherent without making it generic.
Closed in 52 days from a deliberately narrow pipeline of 79 executives.
PARTNERSHIP INSIGHTS
46 days and 52 days. The fastest pair of searches in our book, and the smallest pipeline.
The product search evaluated 79 executives, roughly a fifth of what a comparable search usually takes. That was not a shortcut. It was the result of a sponsor who had already thought hard about the profile and a brief we did not have to reverse-engineer.
Speed in executive search almost never comes from working faster. It comes from starting with a sharper question.
