Aquawise will show off its AI-driven water quality tech at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

Aquawise, a Bangkok-based startup founded in 2024, is developing an AI-driven platform to monitor water quality in aquaculture farms, particularly targeting regions like Southeast Asia where traditional monitoring methods are prohibitively expensive. Using satellite imagery combined with a physics-based AI model, Aquawise continuously tracks critical water parameters such as temperature, chlorophyll levels, and oxygen content, offering real-time monitoring and predictive insights. This approach contrasts with conventional methods that typically provide only daily or weekly data. The founders—Patipond Tiyapunjanit, Chanati Jantrachotechatchawan, and Kobchai Duangrattanalert—originated the idea from a research project on shrimp larvae and identified water quality as a major challenge causing nearly $30 billion in losses annually for aquaculture farms. The startup emphasizes affordability and accessibility for farmers in developing regions, where many currently rely on manual checks and weather reports due to the high cost of existing technologies. Aquawise initially explored sonar-based monitoring but
