AquaShield
AquaShield is a Y Combinator-backed (Spring 2026 / P26 batch) startup building AI-driven water leak detection for buildings and large real estate portfolios. Non-invasive sensors clamp onto existing pipes in minutes with no pipe cutting, retrofits, or downtime; the platform learns each building's normal water-flow patterns and flags anomalies in real time before they escalate into costly damage. Water damage is the largest preventable loss in real estate — more than fire and theft combined. Founded by former MIT and Harvard/EPFL robotics researchers Paul Beckers (CEO) and Marguerite Benoist (CTO), the company is based in San Francisco and works with some of the largest residential portfolios in the world. This profile was surfaced as a Y Combinator portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network; AquaShield currently publishes a marketing site only and does not yet expose a public API or developer program.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles AquaShield the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — AquaShield scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile AquaShield
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AquaShield. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
