HULO Raises €2.3M to Expand AI Leak Detection Platform Globally

Oct 21, 2025
Dutch WaterTech startup HULO has secured €2.3 million in seed funding to accelerate its AI-powered leak detection technology, led by VP Capital and LUMO Labs with participation from Vanagon, Rabobank, FOM, and the Netherlands Enabling Water Technology fund.

HULO, a Dutch WaterTech startup focused on AI-driven leak detection, has raised €2.3 million in seed funding to accelerate its global expansion, announced in a press release. The round was led by VP Capital and LUMO Labs, with participation from Vanagon, Rabobank, FOM, and the Netherlands Enabling Water Technology fund.

HULO’s SaaS platform uses pressure and flow data from existing water utility systems to identify and localize leaks without requiring new hardware or network segmentation. The system combines AI and physics-based models to analyze network behavior and provide actionable insights for operators.

The startup plans to use the new funding to expand in key markets across Europe and Latin America and to strengthen its AI, analytics, and cybersecurity capabilities. HULO’s approach enables utilities to detect and respond to leaks more efficiently, addressing the roughly 30% of treated water lost globally through aging infrastructure.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
