NEW YORK—As organizations around the world face rising costs related to water damage and increased focus on water sustainability, WINT Water Intelligence is building on its success in 2023 to continue solving these challenges for insurance, construction, facilities, and property management companies.
In 2023, WINT helped over 400 leading global enterprises mitigate water damage and reduce their environmental footprint; these customers saved a total of 652 million gallons of water which would have resulted in the release of 22,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. In addition, WINT’s solutions prevented over 900 water damage incidents with a total damage potential of tens of millions of dollars.
WINT’s success in preventing water damage has helped accelerate the growth of its insurance network, which includes carriers, brokers, MGAs, and risk-engineering firms and has nearly tripled during the year.
“The economic impact of water damage in buildings and construction sites, combined with increased water stress and scarcity, has ripple effects that impact a wide variety of industries,” said Yaron Dycian, Chief Product and Strategy Officer for WINT. “Rising insurance costs for construction and commercial and residential buildings are adding to the impact of the climate crisis and global water shortages. We’re proud that we’ve managed to help our customers avoid the pain of water damage in their facilities, and of having helped reduce the environmental impact of building on water supplies.”
Highlights of Past Year
Throughout the year, WINT implemented a variety of innovative solutions to help contractors, insurers and property and facilities managers meet the challenges associated with water waste and damage. Over the last 12 months, the company has:
- Launched a unique performance warranty program designed to mitigate steeply rising deductible costs in the builders’ risk market. Backed by leading multi-line specialty insurance carrier HSB, part of the Munich Re family, the unprecedented warranty provides financial relief of up to $250,000 for water damage on WINT-protected construction sites. The program helps developers and general contractors concerned about the rapidly rising cost of insurance and deductibles, with exclusions specifically for water leak damage.
- Completed a $35 million Series C funding round led by Inven Capital and Insight Partners, demonstrating investor confidence in the power of WINT’s AI-based water management solutions to help businesses drive growth.
- Passed the milestone of more than 10,000 systems installed, reaching a total of 14,000 systems, reflecting the company’s position as the leader in water management technology solutions.
