Company mission
To automate and manage the administration of water utility so the experts can get back to being scientists and engineers rather than data administrators.
Our take
The digital water market is beginning to grow rapidly, currently valued at $8.7 billion globally, it's expected to grow to $20.2 billion by the end of the decade. There is also considerable opportunity to disrupt the space and this is something Klir is setting out to do with its water utility management software.
The company helps water utilities better manage their operations across the entire water system. By providing a suite of tools that enables utilities to monitor their infrastructure, Klir is allowing users to track their assets and analyze data to make more informed decisions and inevitably reduce risks, expenses, and administrative overhead.
Since its inception in 2017, Klir has seen steady growth and is now trusted by a host of the world's leading water utilities. With huge interest from investors as well as previously being a participant in the Y Combinator programme, Klir has been focused on expanding its workforce, with plans to grow on a global scale. Currently operating in some of the richest countries, Klir is designed to be affordable and wants serve poorer regions as these places often struggle to access quality water.
