Watergate Raises £735K+ in Crowdfunding Round

Watergate, the smart water management company on a mission to prevent costly leaks and save water, has closed its crowdfunding campaign with over £736,492 raised from more than 400 investors. The crowdfund forms part of a wider £2 million Pre-Series A round, which includes strategic investors and is currently being finalised.

The round, hosted on Republic Europe, is the largest ever watertech raise on the platform. It attracted support from both institutional and retail backers – including customers, landlords, property professionals, and sustainability advocates – united by a shared belief in Watergate’s powerful blend of technology and impact.

“This isn’t just capital – it’s validation” said Krystian Zajac, CEO and Founder of Watergate. “We’re building something that solves a real, growing problem – and it’s exciting to have hundreds of investors backing our vision.”

Watergate’s award-winning technology combines:

• Sonic – an intelligent leak detection and shut-off device

• Watergate app – helping households track and reduce their usage

• Smart dashboards – giving businesses real-time data to manage water and cut waste

Already deployed by multiple large-scale landlords – including Hestia, London Square, and Greystar, one of the UK’s biggest build-to-rent providers – Watergate has identified up to 68% water savings in complex, multi-unit buildings, driving measurable reductions in cost, carbon, and risk.

The wider £2 million Pre-Series A round of which the crowdfunding is a part, is expected to close within weeks and Watergate will use the funds to:

• Scale direct-to-consumer sales and retail partnerships

• Accelerate B2B adoption across the UK and Europe

• Begin planning a launch in the US, leveraging its place on the BREW Accelerator in Milwaukee

• Continue product innovation and integrations with other platforms

“We’re proud to have built a community that understands the financial, environmental, and operational upside of smarter water management” continues Zajac. “This raise gives us the fuel to grow faster, go further, and keep saving water – property by property.”
