WigWag Raises $1,050,000 to Create a Completely Automated Home
WigWag is a simple, user-friendly platform and suite of devices that allow anyone — from the average homeowner to IT professionals — to connect their automated devices to one platform and easily manage their gadgets. With a surge of products launching that control and monitor daily activities, there was a disconnect in managing multiple smart devices and making your automated life easier to manage.
WigWag has closed this gap with their innovative technology and captured the attention of thousands of people worldwide, raising over $450,000 in pre-orders and gathering praise from media outlets like Discovery Channel, Connected World, and Electronic Engineering Times.
Wigwag was recently chosen as a Staples Top 25 Innovation through the Fundable Crowd2Shelf Contest and has raised over $1,000,000 from investors to date.
