It’s still early, but we’ve already seen the impact with key wins in the defense marketplace."
Rachel Wong
Founder/CEO
Halite Medical
"Fairwater Labs was the first organization to believe in Swell. They saw my vision before others could—stood by us through the trough of sorrow, rolled up their sleeves to work alongside us when we were deep in the trenches, challenged me as a founder and backed my toughest calls. More than partners, they show up like cofounders, especially in the hardest times."

Founder & CEO
Swell
Fairwater Labs has been a pleasure to work with from incubation. Their advisors across business and product development have been critical to helping us win our Phase 1 SBIR, improve on our product, and provide mentorship.
