Using IoT sensors and real-time analysis, Shayp is able to track a building's water consumption, identifying leaks and cutting water use by as much as 22%.

One in three buildings has a significant water leak, most of which go undetected for months, quietly driving up costs and draining the world of a resource it cannot afford to waste.

AI is reshaping how ventures are conceived, funded and launched; these shifts create a new kind of start-up: leaner, faster and more ambitious than ever.
