The company has raised $50 million from investors including [Intel Capital](https://www.geekwire.com/2014/intel-capital-invests-62m-startups-including-inrix-ossia/), [KDDI](https://www.geekwire.com/2015/ossia-lands-strategic-investment-japanese-carrier-kddi-wireless-charging-technoloy/), Molex, and others.
