Whisker Labs

Every 10 minutes, a family is impacted by an electrical fire. Whisker Labs exists to change that. Born from personal tragedy in 2015, when a cofounder's family member lost their home and a beloved pet to a devastating electrical fire, the company was founded with a singular mission: prevent electrical fires before they start. Their flagship product, Ting, is an intelligent sensor and concierge service that monitors a home's electrical network 24/7, detecting the microscopic sparks and arcs that precede nearly all electrical fires. The technology analyzes 30 million electrical signals per second, identifying hidden hazards in wiring, outlets, devices, and even the power coming from the utility company.

What makes Ting revolutionary isn't just the hardware - it's the complete service model. When Ting detects a potential hazard, the company's Fire Safety Team, comprised of the world's leading experts in electrical fire prevention, personally guides homeowners through resolution. The service includes a $1,000 credit toward hazard repairs, ensuring cost doesn't stand between families and safety. With over 1 million homes protected and more than 25,000 potentially devastating fires already prevented, Ting has proven capable of stopping 4 out of 5 electrical fires. Major insurance partners including State Farm, Nationwide, and Chubb now offer Ting to policyholders, recognizing that prevention benefits everyone. Beyond individual homes, Whisker Labs' sensor network creates real-time visibility into the electrical grid's health, helping utilities prevent wildfires and improve grid resilience. This dual impact - protecting families while strengthening critical infrastructure - positions Whisker Labs at the forefront of the next generation of fire safety technology.
