Adam Paul
Founder & CEO | Next Meters
Adam Paul leads Next Meters with his entrepreneurial vision and hands-on problem-solving despite lacking formal electronics training. His self-taught expertise led to breakthrough solid-state metering technology that now dominates the multifamily market.
Under his leadership, Next Meters has achieved remarkable growth while maintaining a commitment to innovation and conservation. In 2024, despite an industry-wide 18 percent downturn, the company maintained flat financial performance while expanding from 43 to 72 employees through two strategic acquisitions that extended operations across three states. Adam’s focus on product development, including a new leak monitoring service and the NextMeter ultrasonic water meter, positions the company for continued growth in both existing and new markets.
What are you most looking forward to accomplishing in 2025?
We started heavily investing in early technologies for our market around six years ago. This year, we’ll launch that product. We have already received great market excitement and demand for these exciting new solutions. We look forward to seeing the rewards from our heavy investment in our products, solutions and team.
How has your company grown recently?
We have experienced rapid adoptions and growth over the past 10 years, with over 4 million of our devices now communicating through our wireless infrastructures. This has empowered us to continue developing cutting-edge solutions and technologies that allow us to scale with demand.
