Hydroclimate Resilience Startups contains 20 companies across
4 categories.
Climate change is making water less reliable. Rain increasingly comes at the wrong time, in the wrong place, or in the wrong quantity. This landscape tracks startups built for that volatility. They help observe and predict changing water conditions, understand flood and drought risk, and capture excess water so it can be used later.
Water Observation & Forecasting
Startups that improve how we observe and predict rainfall and local water conditions. Better real-time data matters as precipitation becomes more erratic and historical averages become less reliable.
Precip
Website: precip.ai
Precip builds AI weather models and a weather API for hyperlocal rainfall and snowfall observation, forecasts, and historical precipitation data.
Category: Water Observation & Forecasting.
Funding stage: Seed.
Founded: 2023.
Country: United States.
Employees: 3.
Landscape fit: Precip fits Water Observation & Forecasting because its core product measures and forecasts hyperlocal precipitation using AI, radar, gauges, and other weather data.
