HydroBlok™ is redefining construction materials with a lightweight, waterproof, mold-proof board poised to replace antiquated building materials including drywall and OSB.
DRAPER, Utah, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HydroBlok™, an innovator in lightweight, 100% waterproof construction panels for interior and exterior applications, has secured $6 million in an extended Series A round led by Pier 88 Investment Partners, a San Francisco based alternative asset manager, and Andina Capital Partners, the captive investment arm of the Utah based Andina multi-family office. The capital infusion will accelerate HydroBlok's manufacturing expansion in the US, nationwide distribution, and R&D for next-generation products.
While high-tech innovation is transforming almost every facet of our lives, the materials that make up almost 80% of your home, gypsum board and OSB, have remained virtually unchanged for decades. As part of its disruptive and innovative mission, HydroBlok™ has eliminated antiquated building materials by offering a lightweight, waterproof, mold-proof board that replaces traditional drywall and sheathing materials with a high-performance composite.
Based on early market feedback and internal tests, HydroBlok™ has demonstrated the ability to reduce material and labor costs by up to 30% and accelerate build times by as much as 50%, primarily by eliminating redundant layers and supplemental insulation—capabilities already built into every HydroBlok board.
"In all my years in business, I've never witnessed a response quite like this. Seeing builders light up when they grasp the time and cost savings of HydroBlok One is incredibly rewarding. The rapid traction and growing momentum confirm just how disruptive this innovation truly is." Colin House, CEO & Co-Founder, HydroBlok
"The Pier 88 team is excited about the compelling growth opportunities we see in HydroBlok's™ next generation building products," says Mitch McCullough, President and GP of Pier 88 Investment Ventures. "HydroBlok's™ technology lead and seasoned executive team position the company to truly revolutionize the construction industry."
"We are thrilled to partner with experienced funding groups like Pier 88 and Andina Capital Partners," said Colin House. "Their strategic insight and deep market knowledge will be invaluable as we scale to meet accelerating demand."
