WINT Named to the 2021 CB Insights AI 100 List of Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Startups

NEW YORK, April 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CB Insights today named WINT to the fifth annual AI 100 ranking, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.

"This is the fifth year CB Insights has recognized the most promising private artificial intelligence companies with the AI 100, and this is one of the most global groups we've ever seen. This year's cohort spans 18 industries, and is working on everything from climate risk to accelerating drug R&D," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. "Last year's AI 100 companies had a remarkable run after being named to the list, with more than 50% going on to raise additional financing (totaling $5.2B), including 16 $100 million+ mega-rounds. Many also went on to exit via M&A, SPAC or IPO. As industry after industry adopts AI, we expect this year's class will see similar levels of interest from investors, acquirers and customers."

"Leaks and water damage are significant problems in construction sites, real estate and industry and contribute every year to major costs for repair and remediation, insurance and lost productivity," said Alon Geva, CEO of WINT. "Wasted water also contributes to the global shortage of this critical resource. With WINT's transformative technology, waste can be prevented and leaks can be stopped at the source to help prevent widespread damage before it occurs."

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 from a pool of over 6,000 companies based on several factors including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights' algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company's momentum.

WINT's systems deploy artificial intelligence, machine learning and signal processing technology to conduct real-time water-flow analysis and identify leaks at their source. By preventing damage from burst pipes and undetected leaks, owners and contractors can avoid costs associated with remediation, repair and increased insurance premiums. Moreover, WINT's advanced solution protects facilities from construction to the project's operational stage. WINT protects facilities from water damage while cutting its ongoing water consumption and waste by 20%-25% to reduce operational expenses and environmental impact.
