Energous: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)
Energous Corporation is developing WattUp, a wire-free charging technology that will transform the way people charge and power their electronic devices at home, in the office, in the car, and beyond. WattUp is a revolutionary, patent— and trademark—pending solution that delivers intelligent, scalable power via the same radio bands as a WiFi router. WattUp differs from current wireless charging systems in that it delivers meaningful, useable power, at a distance, while allowing users to roam while charging. The result is a truly wire-free experience that saves users from having to remember to plug in their devices or place them on a mat. Energous will initially license WattUp to the wearable and mobile—accessory markets and will expand to other markets such as WiFi routers and smartphones over time.
Energous has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent an undisclosed round of $2.0M announced in Feb 2024.
That round is below the $7.5M median round size for Consumer Electronics companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Energous Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Energous is left off this page rather than filled in.
