Leakmited

Leakmited is a French company specialising in the performance of drinking water networks. It sells to water utilities, municipalities and public network operators, combining artificial intelligence with field expertise to reduce water losses and prioritise infrastructure renewal. According to its press materials, it supports more than 100 operators facing understaffed technical teams, deteriorating networks and fragmented tooling.

The offering is organised around two product lines. Sprint is a performance-based leak detection service in which Leakmited deploys its own expert leak investigators to critical areas, guided by the company's AI; the company states that if no demonstrable performance improvement is achieved within two weeks, no charge is made. Twin is a software platform delivered as a shared interface for elected officials and technicians, split into Twin patrimonial/renovation planning — which turns network data into a scalable multi-year renewal plan (PPI) to prioritise investments within a fixed budget — and Twin exploitation, which centralises telemetry, remote meter reading and GIS data to identify at-risk sectors earlier, organise field rounds and track the impact of interventions on network efficiency.

Leakmited positions its distinguishing feature as the continuity between field action, operational management and investment strategy: interventions inform monitoring, and monitoring informs renewal planning. The company reports having been supported since inception by Banque des Territoires, and also cites Starquest as a backer.

Founding story

Founded in 2019 around the question of why, when and how water leaks occur, followed by three years of field research with European water utilities and public network managers.

Business model

Leakmited combines a software subscription-style offering (Twin, for renovation planning and network operation monitoring) with a field service (Sprint leak detection) delivered by its own expert investigators. The Sprint service is billed on results: the company states that customers pay based on performance achieved, with no charge if no demonstrable improvement in network performance occurs within two weeks; one customer describes a threshold of finding at least 20% of leaks before payment begins.

Software for network renewal planning and operational supervision sold to water utilities and local authorities, plus performance-based (results-billed) leak detection services.

Traction

Company-reported figures: more than 100 water utilities supported; over 30,000 km of networks managed with Twin; more than 1,000,000 leaks recorded across more than 400,000 km of analysed network; an average 35% (elsewhere stated as over 30%) reduction in water losses, with some customers reducing losses by up to 75%. Reported 2024 sales of nearly €2 million, with a stated goal of profitability within 18–24 months of the January 2025 round.

Latest developments

Product updates to Twin include the ability to create worksite lists and integrate them into renewal plans. The press page lists sustained French media coverage of deployments through late 2025 and early 2026, including Béziers Méditerranée, Grand Paris Sud, Sicoval and the Eure water syndicate SERPN.
