SOURCE Global

SOURCE Global, PBC (founded as Zero Mass Water) is a Scottsdale, Arizona public benefit corporation started in 2014 by Arizona State University materials scientist Cody Friesen to make drinking water out of sunlight and air. Its SOURCE Hydropanel is an off-grid solar-thermal device that pulls water vapor from the atmosphere, condenses and mineralizes it, and delivers roughly five liters of drinking water a day; the panels were deployed in residential, commercial, community and humanitarian projects across more than 50 countries, and the company later moved into bottled water, acquiring Proud Source Water in 2023. It raised approximately USD 270 million in total, including a USD 50 million Series C led by BlackRock in 2020 and a USD 130 million Series D in 2022 co-led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Drawdown Fund with Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund and Fifth Wall participating. SOURCE was a hardware and consumer-products business rather than a software vendor: it never published a developer portal, API reference, SDK or any machine-readable API contract, and the only machine-readable surface its site ever exposed was the Shopify platform behind its direct-to-consumer storefront. The company went quiet during 2025 — an April 2025 SEC filing showed a USD 75 million raise that closed at USD 19.3 million, and founder Cody Friesen announced his departure in June 2025 — and as of August 2026 source.co answers HTTP 402 "Store unavailable" on every path while the legacy zeromasswater.com domain resolves to a parked GoDaddy builder page.

SOURCE Global is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Water, Drinking Water, Cleantech, and Climate Tech.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  detail: SOURCE Global appears to have wound down — every path on source.co, including the homepage and all /.well-known/*
    probes, returns HTTP 402 with Shopify's "Store unavailable" page, source.co/llms.txt answers 200 with only "This store
    is currently unavailable. Agent interaction is not possible at this time.", and the legacy zeromasswater.com domain is
    now a parked GoDaddy builder page.
