Investment portfolio

  • WINT

    Participated · Series B · Jan 2022

    Wint equips contractors, developers, owners and facility management teams with solutions leveraging artificial intelligence and IoT to manage water throughout the lifecycle of a building, from construction to operations. Its products focus on leak prevention, detection and water management for commercial facilities, construction sites and industrial manufacturers. The company aims to prevent the hazards, costs, waste and environmental impact associated with water leaks and to cut water waste and related carbon emissions. Led by CEO Alon Geva, Wint serves customers across construction and operations workflows. Wint intends to use its recent funding to support global market expansion and technological innovation. The company raised $35M in a Series C financing. WINT Water Intelligence builds water-management and leak-prevention software and hardware for construction, commercial, and industrial applications. Its platform helps owners, contractors, facility managers, and insurers detect and prevent leaks, reduce consumption, and avoid costly water damage. The company says customers can reduce water consumption by 20–25% and cut operational expenses and environmental footprints. WINT frames its solution against broader impacts—citing that 13% of U.S. electricity consumption is related to water distribution and treatment and that water damage drives over $13 billion in annual insurance payouts. The company plans market expansion and continued innovation to accelerate adoption across the built environment. WINT recently completed a $15 million Series B to fund that growth and go-to-market scaling.
