Riverkin AG
Real-time river data, as usable as weather data
Riverkin is building the real-time data infrastructure for rivers and watersheds. Today, flood and sediment risks are managed using sparse, delayed monitoring that fails to capture fast-changing river dynamics, leaving critical infrastructure and capital exposed. Riverkin turns rivers into continuously observable systems by delivering trusted, analysis-ready data at basin scale. This allows infrastructure operators to prevent asset damage, manage water-related risk proactively, and meet regulatory requirements. As this proprietary dataset scales, it forms a compounding data moat that enables more accurate predictive and AI-driven water risk models, unlocking global commercial applications across infrastructure, insurance, and climate risk markets.
