Wi-Charge, a leader in long-range wireless power, announced it has raised $20 million in Series C funding led by Standard Investments with participation from existing investors and new investors, including the EIC Fund.
What the funding will be used for: The funding will advance Wi-Charge’s commercial rollout and expand its footprint across hospitality, smart home, commercial, retail, mobile device, and the fast-growing AR and wearables sectors.
The funding round will also help scale manufacturing, accelerate OEM integration, build out global distribution, and scale the commercialization team. And with additional product launches and partnerships already in the pipeline, Wi-Charge is rapidly becoming the foundation for a wirelessly powered future.
Momentum: This funding round follows a series of commercial product launches that signal Wi-Charge’s transition from R&D to real-world deployment. And in recent months, the company has introduced multiple wirelessly powered display solutions, such as the Wi-Poster, a 31-inch large-format color E-Ink display; Nine-inch Wirelessly Powered LCD Video Displays for retail, which bring video content directly to the point of purchase; and the first-of-its-kind digital out-of-home solution, over-the-air powered for retail environments.
These launches also expand the portfolio of products supported by Wi-Charge wireless power, including smart home devices like Alfred smart locks, and highlight both the versatility of Wi-Charge’s technology and its readiness to scale across multiple industries.
Backed by over 200 patents and over a decade of research and development, Wi-Charge is the first company to deliver and commercialize true over-the-air wireless power. And its proprietary, physics-based approach has enabled the company to overcome barriers that have stalled others in the space. With proven applications across smart home, hospitality, consumer electronics, retail, and digital signage, Wi-Charge is now ready to power the next generation of connected devices.

“Wireless power has been an impossible dream for so long—and now it’s real. Deployed in the US, Europe and Asia, it is being used successfully by small and major brands, powering different devices from 30 feet away. When people see it in action, there’s this moment when it clicks. Suddenly, what seemed like science fiction becomes reality, and cables immediately seem cumbersome and outdated. We’re seeing a wave of OEMs quickly moving to integrate wireless power, recognizing the value of offering freedom from wires and battery charging. This funding helps us move faster and scale to meet these new demands.”
“We’re unlocking a new era of truly wireless living—eliminating cables and batteries, one product at a time. As AR glasses, next-gen mobile devices, and edge AI hardware go mainstream, they’ll all need reliable, long-range power. This funding helps us move faster to meet that need—and to make sure our partners are leading the charge, not playing catch-up.”
