What ChargeSpot does
ChargeSpot Wireless Power Inc. is a privately held Canadian corporation headquartered in Toronto that designs and sells Qi-standard wireless charging hardware for commercial interiors. The company was founded in 2013 and operates with a small team (1-10 employees). Its core product portfolio includes the ChargeSpot and Spark wireless charging units, which are installed beneath surfaces such as desks, tables, and countertops to deliver 2-amp fast charging to Qi-enabled phones and tablets without visible cables, raceways, or grommets. The product line is completed by Single Unit and Multi Unit Power Supplies that manage electrical distribution for individual and clustered installations.
ChargeSpot monetizes exclusively through hardware sales via three channels: direct enterprise sales for custom installations, OEM partnerships with contract furniture manufacturers who embed ChargeSpot hardware into office furniture and hospitality furnishings, and a VAR/reseller network supported by a dealer portal. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company targets four primary verticals — offices/workplaces, hotels/hospitality, higher education, and airports — selecting each for high-traffic, high-power-access-friction environments. Content marketing (a Workspaces blog, white papers, specification guides, 3D models, and demo kits) supports demand generation targeting facility managers, interior designers, and AV integrators.
The company is a member of the Wireless Power Consortium, ensuring Qi compliance and interoperability. No external funding has been disclosed since the 2014-2015 seed rounds (Creative Destruction Lab, FundersClub, Hedgewood), no revenue is publicly reported, and no institutional investors, parent companies, or significant customer logos are identified in available sources. The company's website, product imagery, and most blog content date from 2016-2017, suggesting limited outward signaling of recent operational momentum.

ChargeSpot competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Samsung Electronics: Samsung is both a major Qi-promoting device maker and a vendor of wireless charging pads/accessories, and integrates wireless charging into its commercial displays and signage. As an OEM device ecosystem leader, it shapes the standard and competitive landscape ChargeSpot operates in.
- Belkin: Belkin is a major accessories brand with a sizable commercial and consumer wireless charging portfolio, including BOOST↑CHARGE pads and docks. While its core business is broader, its commercial/professional Qi offerings overlap with ChargeSpot's target venues.
- Anker: Anker is a global consumer electronics accessories leader with PowerWave and related Qi wireless charging lines. While primarily consumer, Anker's scale and pricing power in wireless charging puts competitive pressure on commercial pricing benchmarks that affect ChargeSpot.
Direct peers
- Chargifi: Chargifi provides cloud-managed wireless charging spots for offices, hotels, airports, and retail — a near-identical B2B value proposition to ChargeSpot. Both target the same commercial-interiors under-surface amenity use case with Qi hardware plus a software/analytics layer.
- Aircharge: Aircharge deploys Qi wireless charging across hospitality, retail, transport, and office venues with both surface-mounted and integrated solutions. Directly comparable to ChargeSpot in venue coverage (hotels, airports, offices) and Qi-standard product offering.
- Powermat: Powermat provides wireless charging solutions including embedded/in-surface units for commercial environments and automotive. It competes with ChargeSpot in the embedded Qi-compatible commercial wireless charging category, especially in hospitality and public venues.
Emerging players
- Energous Corporation: Energous develops at-a-distance wireless power technology (AirFuel-based) targeting commercial and IoT applications. It is comparable as an adjacent wireless-power infrastructure vendor chasing commercial venues, even though it uses a different underlying standard than Qi.
- ConvenientPower: ConvenientPower designs and manufactures Qi wireless charging hardware, including embedded/automotive-grade solutions. It is comparable as a B2B Qi hardware specialist whose embedded products target similar automotive, furniture, and commercial use cases.
