About Us

RainGrid’s Intelligent Rain Retention and Reuse (IR3) systems apply property technology (PropTech) to building climate-resilient communities. We offer improved records, monitoring and maintenance of smart infrastructure with cloud analytics and micro-climate data. Our BlockChain ledger brings transparency across the supply chain, enhances the provision of technical support and empowers credit trading in GHG and ecosystem restoration credits.

RainGrid’s innovative solution enhances data-driven decision-making, improves climate resilience in cities, and applies next-generation technologies for rainfall retention and reuse on every property. RainGrid protects homes, schools, businesses and whole communities from the impacts and costs of climate change.

RainGrid provides end-to-end stormwater management solutions. Our team designs, installs and maintains smart rain management systems. RainGrid uses artificial Intelligence (Al) and IoT technology to create a circular economy for rain that virtually eliminates stormwater runoff and regenerates watersheds. Real-time property-level rain data from smart cisterns can be accessed and analyzed from anywhere.

Intelligent Rain Retention and Reuse (IR3) systems achieve property-based net zero rooftop runoff by correlating rooftop rainfall volumes with cistern storage volumes, the former calculated by a quantitative precipitation forecast algorithm, the latter  managed by IoT peripherals (sensors and electrically actuated drainage) and property-based infiltration galleries.

A Cleantech Leader on the World Stage

GFHS-logo-279x300

In 2012 we embarked on the path of becoming a commercial cleantech start-up. We are indebted to the MaRS Discovery District, which accepted RainGrid as a Cleantech practice client company.

Shortly thereafter, RainGrid was selected as a leading social impact innovator by the MaRS Social Innovation Generation Impact8 program.

In 2016, RainGrid was selected by B Lab as a Best for the World corporation in the Overall and Environmental categories. As a Certified B Corporation RainGrid met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency for our employees, our community, the environment, and our customers.
In 2016, RainGrid was included by the Water Environment Research Foundation in its Leaders Innovation Forum for Technology. LIFT companies are designated for rapid adoption and implementation by WRF member utilities throughout the world.

In 2017, RainGrid was selected by the International Water Resources Association and Korea Water Corporation as a contributor to the inaugural edition of Smart Water Management, an overview of the ten most significant smart water management technologies for solving the SDGs in water.

In 2018, RainGrid was featured as an IWRA Smart City case study of distributed AI/IoT Rain harvesting networks that generate valuable real-time micro-climate data and support water management decision-making..

In 2023, RainGrid won the World Economic Forum’s UpLink Global Freshwater Innovation Challenge and received a $250k CAD co-investment sponsored by leading global conglomerate HCL.
In 2023, RainGrid was recognized with the Global Model Green Technology award during the 18th Annual Session of Global Forum on Human Settlements Sustainable Cities And Human Settlements Awards Ceremony (GFHS 2023) taking place alongside COP28.
