Convenient. Connected. Accessible.

Our vision is simple: a happier, more resilient world.

We're pursuing it through wellness innovation that makes performance tools more connected, convenient and accessible.

Our first product is SnowCap, the world's first thermoelectric ice bath.

Cold water immersion has moved beyond elite sport, yet traditional equipment still creates friction: ice, external chillers, plumbing, space and maintenance.

SnowCap's patent-pending smart lid does the work of a chiller.

No ice. No plumbing. No noisy external chiller. No complicated setup.

Just plug and plunge.

Premium cold water therapy made easier to access and repeat.

With A$700,000+ in presales in just 8 weeks and a 10,000+ waitlist, we're seeing strong early demand for a simpler way.

What to know more? Watch the Investor Q&A here 

A proven category. An early valuation

The cold plunge market is approaching A$1.35 billion and growing at close to 10% per annum.

A leading US cold plunge brand, Plunge, raised at a US$90 million (approx A$125 million) valuation in its fourth year, with a product range built on conventional refrigerant chiller technology.

Clearwater’s offer is priced at a pre-money valuation of A$7 million. Clearwater is coming in with a  uniquely differentiated product and as a company is built to redefine the category.

The United States is where we go next, and the demand is already there.

More than 90% of our presales and waitlist came from US and Australian buyers, followed by Europe.

SnowCap was built for those markets, and we are ready to take it there.

Why Clearwater, and why now

  • World-first product: Thermoelectric cold plunge with cooling, heating, water circulation, UV sanitation and filtration built into the patent-pending lid.
  • Demand proven: More than A$700,000 in presales in eight weeks, a 10,000+ waitlist, and a 33:1 paid ads ROAS.
  • Category benchmark: Plunge raised at an US$90 million valuation in its fourth year. Clearwater’s offer is priced at a pre-money valuation of A$7 million.
  • Rare founding team: An ICU doctor and Olympian, a Silicon Valley product design engineer, and a previously exited entrepreneur and operator.
  • Serious advisers: Dr Peter Brukner OAM, former head of sports medicine at Liverpool FC. Giles Lowe, a decade at Apple on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Dr Darren Burgess, Director of Performance at Juventus. Tim Paine, former Australian Test captain. Dickie Currer-Ganguli, 2025 Victorian Startup Ecosystem Hero.
  • Institutional backing: Playbook Ventures is Clearwater’s first institutional investor.
  • More than one product: SnowCap is the first product in a connected recovery platform.
  • Convenience and accessibility: SnowCap removes the ice, plumbing, external chiller and setup friction that stops people using cold water therapy consistently.

A cold plunge that asks nothing of you

One app to set the temperature, schedule sessions, start guided breathing, track streaks and journal.

SnowCap’s solid-state, refrigerant-free thermoelectric system cools and heats from 1.5°C to 40°C (34°F to 104°F), with circulation, UV sanitation and particulate filtration built into the lid.

It runs from a standard power point.

No ice. No plumbing. No external chiller.

SnowCap is competitively positioned in the market at US$3,990, sold direct-to-consumer to retain the customer relationship and healthy margin within Clearwater.

Retail, hospitality and wellness channels offer further opportunities as the business scales.

Built by the ambitious, for the ambitious.

SnowCap is ready to progress manufacturing with our international partner, MorphoMFG - Tooling is the next major production milestone.

What we have built so far

  • 2024. SnowCap launched on Indiegogo and passed its funding goal by more than 1,000%. Presales across Indiegogo and our first week on Shopify passed A$700,000, from eight weeks in market.
     
  • 2025. SnowCap won the FIT Sport Design Award. Successive engineering prototypes proved every core system in the lid.
     
  • 2026. Playbook Ventures became Clearwater’s first institutional investor. The waitlist passed 10,000 people. Clearwater achieved blue chip media with the AFR and New York Weekly.
     
  • Now. After 24 months of prototyping, SnowCap is ready for manufacturing.

Hard to build, harder to copy

Most premium cold plunges are built the same way: a tub, a noisy external chiller, hoses that require plumbing, and a second machine to house, power and maintain.

SnowCap takes a more innovative, convenient and accessible approach.

The cooling, heating, circulation, UV sanitation and filtration are built into one patent-pending thermoelectric lid that sits over the water and runs from a household power point.

Protected from day one. We filed our first patent in 2024, before we sold a single unit. It is currently patent pending.

One lid fits many tubs, takes up less space, stays portable and ships more efficiently.

Behind it sits a clinician, an engineer and an operator, advised by specialists whose experience spans Apple, elite sport and global expansion.

Rewards are designed to recognise Clearwater’s earliest shareholders and give them meaningful access, status and product value.

Question time

We'd love to answer your questions, we'll have one of the OnMarket team or the company representative of the offer get back to you asap. So ask away ...

Financila position and tooling write-off.

The company's FY2026 accounts show negative net assets of approximately $173,957, zero revenue, and a material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts also show that $476,859 in tooling-related payables was written back, despite tooling still being required for production. Can you provide a detailed explanation, supported by the original supplier agreements and written supplier confirmation, explaining why this liability was removed, whether any payment obligation remains, and how the company will fund the tooling and production costs going forward?

Sean B (OnMarket member) on 05/11/2026

Thanks Sean, appreciate your questions. Please see responses below;

Re; Tooling.
We deferred the supplier payment milestone, so it hadnt been reached at 30 June 2026. The company assessed that it had no present payment obligation at that date and reversed the $476,859 payable. No cash was received. We still require the tooling and will pay for it when were ready to proceed. This is one of the reasons were raising capital.

Re; Financial position.
As disclosed in Section 2.10, Clearwater had net liabilities of $173,957 at 30 June 2026 and recorded no revenue in FY2026. The accounts disclose a material uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern without funding. Thats why securing additional funding, through debt or equity matters. In FY2025, we recognised $642,324 in presale revenue and recorded $82,922 as a liability for unfulfilled orders. After year end, we received $100,000 through a SAFE.

Re; Funding production.
Were planning a first run of 600 units. At the $2.2m maximum raise, the offer allocates $400k to tooling and asset purchases and $900k to production. At the $220k minimum, no funds are allocated to either. If the raise falls short of what we need to start production, well move straight to Plan B which includes a combination of: Pursuing institutional investment, further presales, inventory finance and titrating the size the first manufacturing run according to the funding we secure.

Please consider the offer document, including the risks in Section 2.9, and the general CSF risk warning before applying.

Ownerships

The offer document states that Clearwater Ice Baths Pty Ltd operates alongside related Australian and US entities, with a proposed restructure to make Clearwater Ice Baths Pty Ltd the holding company expected more than 12 months after the offer. Can you identify precisely which entity currently owns the patents, trademarks, product designs, tooling, manufacturing agreements, customer contracts and other material business assets? What legally binding arrangements will ensure that investors in Clearwater Ice Baths Pty Ltd ultimately benefit from all these assets, and will the proposed restructure be independently valued and approved?

Sean B (OnMarket member) on 05/11/2026

Thanks, Sean. Youre buying shares in Clearwater Ice Baths Pty Ltd, the company behind SnowCap and the company we intend to make the holding company for the whole Clearwater group. Our commitment is to build every new Clearwater product and business within that company or a subsidiary it owns.

The two existing sister companies in Australia and the US sit outside Clearwater Ice Baths Pty Ltd today. The proposed restructure would bring both in as wholly owned subsidiaries. If it goes ahead and any required approvals are obtained, the shares you buy today would give you an indirect stake in both, without needing to invest again.

Thats what we mean by investing at the ground floor: youre buying into the company we intend to build the whole Clearwater business under, with SnowCap as our first product.

Matthew G (Clearwater Ice Baths P/L representative) replied to Sean B on 06/11/2026
Commercial readiness.

The offer document identifies outstanding certification and manufacturing requirements, while the minimum $220,000 fundraising scenario allocates nothing to tooling or production. What is the complete, independently supported cost and timetable to achieve certification, complete tooling, commence commercial production and fulfil existing customer orders? What happens if only the minimum raise is achieved, and how much additional capital will be required before the business becomes self-sustaining?

Sean B (OnMarket member) on 05/11/2026

Thanks, Sean. Appreciate the questions.

Certification.
Over the past 30 months of prototyping, we have designed SnowCap with the toughest certification requirements in mind.
Several external engineers have reviewed the design against the requirements of the markets we plan to enter. Well start the formal testing and certification process once the raise is complete and finish it before shipping to customers. Weve budgeted $20,000 for approvals at both raise levels. The final cost and timing are still to be confirmed.

Production and existing orders.
The design is ready for tooling. We expect that to take about two months once work starts, followed by our planned first run of 600 units and then shipping. At the $2.2m maximum raise, weve budgeted $400,000 for tooling and equipment and $900,000 for production, including fulfilling existing orders. We havent confirmed a delivery date yet.

If we only raise the $220,000 minimum.
At that level, none of the raise goes towards tooling or production. Wed look to secure more funding through institutional investors, further presales and inventory finance, then size the first run to what we can afford.

Further funding. We expect the maximum raise to cover all of our plans. At $2000+ profit per unit. Our forecasting shows the business will be able to cover its own costs within the first 12 months. Note; This is a forecast and not a garuntee.

Please read the offer document, particularly Sections 2.9 and 3.2, and consider the general CSF risk warning before applying.

Snow Cap unit cost

Hello, I just wanted to clarify what the actual cost of an individual SnowCap unit would be in Australian dollars delivered to the consumer. The $1000 investment package states a 7% discount at $500 value, which puts the units at a consumer cost of around $7142, around double the offerings from common elite sports teams use such as primalice. How long and how much energy does it use to cool and heat per use.

Lachlan R (OnMarket member) on 10/11/2026

Thanks for the question Lachlan.

Australian pricing isnt final yet, but SnowCap wont encuonter the same tarrifs in Australia that it does in the USA which will help us price below the AUD equivalent of our US$3,990 US price.

As a guide. Well strategically price side by side, competitvely against comparable cold plunges, while offering the quieter, simpler setup without a bulky external refrigeration chiller that is the current at-market offering.

Chilling 300L to 5C from a starting temperature of 20C takes approximately 13 hours and consumes approximately 15 kWh of energy. Once it has reached its target, holding the target temperature typically consumes an average of 250-350W depending on the ambient conditions. Heating cycles are significantly faster, taking approximately hours to get to 40C from 20C initial temperature. For both modes, power consumption can be improved by using the smart scheduling feature, which ensures the tub is ready at the required times while letting the system hibernate when you aren't using it.
