WaHa: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
WaHa has created an innovative solid desiccant regeneration engine known as the WaHa Vaporator®, with the goal of transforming air conditioning technology. This patented system delivers significant enhancements in energy efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for various cooling, dehumidification, and atmospheric water generation uses. The key features of the WaHa Vaporator® include a unique method for regenerating solid desiccants for air dehumidification, the ability to control dew point and dry bulb temperatures independently, the production of pure water for direct evaporative cooling, compatibility with refrigerants of ultra-low global warming potential, a substantial decrease in energy consumption compared to traditional systems, and a similar size and weight to existing AC solutions, allowing for installation by current tradespeople. The WaHa Vaporator® is designed to be a versatile solution for air conditioning in all climate zones and can also be utilized for cost-effective and energy-efficient atmospheric water harvesting in various climates, even arid and cold regions. It boasts higher reliability and a lower cost of ownership when compared to other technologies. WaHa, established in 2018, aims to bring to market innovative desiccant materials and technologies developed at UC Berkeley over the course of two decades. The company has secured seed funding from multiple sources, including UC Berkeley, Berkeley Catalyst Fund, Mitsui-Kinzoku, TAQNIA, and strategic angel investors.

About FundedIQ's WaHa 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 WaHa is left off this page rather than filled in.
