Wattnow looks fair against its niche peers and is dormant on financing cadence.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the hardware/semi sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Fair
  • Modeled value is 0.67× the median modeled value of Series A Hardware / Semiconductors companies in 2022–2024 (10 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Within the normal band (67% of peer median) for its niche.
Dormant
  • Last raise 4.3 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 16 months.
  • Only one round on record and long silent — often defunct, acquired, or gone quiet.

Amount raised vs valuation, by round

Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.

The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.

Series A$1.3M · 2022

Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 33%.

Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Series Aa $4.0M–$15M round). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the hardware/semi sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.

Not enough modeled valuation points to chart a trajectory.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 130 companies in Hardware / Semiconductors. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages) 0.2× of median
This company$1.3M
Sector median$8.3M
Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.3× of median
This company$1.3M
Sector median$5.0M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.5× of median
This company$12.2M
Sector median$26.4M

Raised more than 62% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 62% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series A) that last raised in the same ~3-year era, ranked by modeled value est. (not money raised). This is the exact set the analyst read compares against, so a like-for-like cohort is what makes "over/under-valued" meaningful. This company ranks #8 of 10.
