Fluid Analytics raises $1.6 Mn in pre-Series A round

Cleantech startup Fluid Analytics has raised $1.6 million in its pre-Series A round led by Pravega Ventures and joined by an angel investor. 

The proceeds will be used to execute a global scale-up expansion starting with a focus on North America, the company said in a press release.

Founded by Nidhi Jain and Asim R. Bhalerao, Fluid Analytics monitors water infrastructure health, waterway conditions, and the spread of water-borne diseases at scale. 

The startup claims to have successfully deployed solutions, monitored over 400 million gallons (1.5 billion litres) of urban wastewater spills and enabled the treatment and reuse of over 200 million gallons (800 million litres) daily.

It continues to monitor a population of over 17.5 million for water-borne diseases, as an indicator of sewage spills. Its business model helps cities to combat water pollution sustainably, collaborating with utilities, contractors, and engineering firms.

Early stage venture capital fund Pravega Ventures focuses on providing seed and pre-Series A funding. Its portfolio includes Crofarm (now Otipy), Fyle, SalarySe, Cashinvoice, and GrayQuest, among others.
