Overview
Founded in 2017 in Brussels, Shayp provides an AI-powered water leak detection platform for building operators. The company's system analyzes consumption data and IoT sensor signals to identify leaks and abnormal usage patterns before they escalate into costly damage or waste.
With $2.36M raised, Shayp targets the commercial real estate, public sector, and property management markets. Water leak detection and efficiency is a growing focus as water scarcity and sustainability reporting obligations put pressure on building owners to demonstrate resource stewardship.
Shayp is part of a cluster of Belgian water technology companies that includes BOSAQ and Waterleau.

- Shayp and Grupo Técnico Calcat are teaming up in Spain to help companies monitor water use in real time and detect leaks early before it becomes an expensive problem.

With better visibility, businesses can: 💶 Stop losing money on hidden leaks. 💧 Reduce unnecessary water
- Founders are told never to step away from the business. Zineddine Wakrim and I just did. Both of us, at the same time. Between installations in Italy and Spain and the first module of IESE Business School’s Foundations of Scaling in Barcelona, we were away from the office for a good while. At IESE, we joined 40 founders from 17 nationalities and 34 companies, all working on the same question: 🚀 what needs to change in a company to enter a new stage of growth? My answer, after this trip: focus and self development For

Knowing how much water a building actually uses, and catching losses before they show up on the bill. Water Innovation Europe is an associated event of the Irish
- Speed meetings sound like a bad idea on paper. 🤔 Short slots, a timer, and a room full of CEOs who all have a company to talk about. But for anyone at C-level, it works. With our schedules, I’d rather have a short slot than no time at all! This week I joined the B Corp CEO Speed Meeting at @TheMerode in Brussels, hosted by @B Lab Benelux. It was one morning of back-to-back conversations with founders and leaders from across the Belgian and wider Benelux B Corp community. Shayp has been a certified B Corp since 2022. It’s easy to
