November 26, 2019, Reston, VA
Outcome Capital, an investment banking firm that serves middle market growth companies in the technology and life sciences space, is pleased to announce that Whisker Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) has secured growth capital from State Farm Ventures and Ferguson Ventures along with the Company’s existing investors to accelerate the development and distribution of the Company’s Ting™ sensing technology. Outcome Capital provided exclusive financial advisory services to the Company.
Based in Germantown, MD, Whisker Labs develops sensing and software technology for home intelligence. The Company’s Ting™ product is a smart-sensor that monitors a home’s electrical network. Plugged into any outlet in the home, Ting™ detects damaged wires, loose connections and faulty appliances. In addition to fire safety, Ting™ provides meaningful information to homeowners on conditions and events of high relevance, such as power outages, weather warnings and even notifications that their HVAC or other essential appliances may be about to fail.
“Outcome Capital did an outstanding job structuring this important capital round for our company. It was the second mandate we entrusted to Outcome Capital this year and both were highly successful,” said Bob Marshall, CEO of Whisker Labs. “This funding lets us continue our mission of protecting families and homes from electrical fires and realize our vision for Ting™ as a “fitness tracker for the home.”
