WeTag

What WeTag does

WeTag Inc. is a Plano, Texas-based private company founded in 2013 that developed iFind, a battery-free Bluetooth item locator targeted at individual consumers for tracking personal items such as keys, wallets, bags, and pets, with a secondary wholesale channel for bulk orders exceeding 500 units.

The core technology centers on a patent-pending Energy Harvesting circuit that harvests ambient electromagnetic energy from Wi-Fi transmitters, cell-phone antennas, and TV masts to power a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy radio, eliminating the need for a battery. The tag measures 1.25" x 1.06" x 0.09" with a claimed 200-foot line-of-sight range, biocompatible plastic casing, water resistance, and a 20-year operational lifespan. Four patent applications have been filed in the USA and European Union. The companion iFind app supports iOS and Android and offers locate, Rope (out-of-range alerts), Reverse Search (shake tag to ring phone), and UHelp (community-based search via social sharing).

Revenue mechanics rely on one-time hardware sales through a Kickstarter pre-order campaign and direct website e-commerce with free continental-US shipping, plus wholesale pricing for bulk orders with custom labels. International sales to Canada and the EU were planned. Total disclosed funding is $500,000 from a 2014 round; no institutional investors are named, and headcount is in the 1-10 range. Website content dates to 2013-2014, and no post-launch operating updates are evidenced in the input data, leaving current operating status uncertain.

Core offering

WeTag designs, manufactures, and sells the iFind battery-free Bluetooth item locator tag, which uses patent-pending Energy Harvesting circuits to convert ambient electromagnetic energy from Wi-Fi, cell-phone antennas, and TV masts into electrical power for Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE) operation. The hardware pairs with an iOS/Android companion app (iFind) that enables users to locate tagged personal items (keys, wallets, bags, pets, electronics, documents), receive out-of-range alerts, perform reverse phone search, and request community assistance via encrypted tag ID sharing.

Product overview

WeTag offers a dual-component product system centered on the iFind brand. The system consists of the iFind Tag (a physical hardware device) and the iFind App (a companion mobile application for iOS and Android). The physical tag uses proprietary battery-free Energy Harvesting technology to power Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy connectivity, while the app provides item location, reverse search, and community-assisted search functionality. Both components work together as an integrated item locating solution.
