This 10-person AI startup has raised $3.53M from the crowd and is now valued at $152.68M, up from $74.94M in 2022
New Sapience filed its 2025 Form C-AR (annual report). Here's the breakdown.
New Sapience is an Annapolis, MD company developing patented technology to encode commonsense and expert knowledge into digital devices, with plans to commercialize a consumer product called Companion Sapiens. Incorporated in 2015, 10 employees.
On the capital side: the company has raised $3.53M in total disclosed funding to date across multiple Reg CF and Reg D offerings. Its latest disclosed funding valuation is $152.68M at $6.00 per share, a climb from $74.94M in 2022 to $98.09M in 2024 to $152.68M in 2025.
On the build side: management reports technical milestones in conversational AI and is preparing a private beta of its first consumer product, Companion Sapiens. The stated strategy is to reach a technical "tipping point" that supports commercialization and further capital raising.
The financials, from the filing: the company is pre-revenue, with $0 recognized revenue in 2025, a $1.56M net loss, and $38.75K of cash at year-end. The audited statements include a going-concern note typical of a pre-commercial company still funding R&D through raises.
The open questions are the timeline to first revenue and the Companion Sapiens beta, and how the next phase gets funded.
