Insights on AI agents, data infrastructure, and the future of GTM from the Watt team.
Two vendors, thousands of upstream sources. Everything we use is available on the open market to anyone who knows where to look. The reason no one else has built this isn't the sourcing: it's the substrate.
Watt has closed a $4.3M pre-seed to build signal infrastructure for AI agents. Here's what the round funds, and what comes next.
For 20 years, anyone whose job depended on data they didn't produce was a Data Consumer waiting on a 5-role chain. That world is ending. The role that replaces it is the Signal Engineer. The operating model is Signal Engineering. Here's the definition.

Eight weeks ago, Watt launched in beta. Today, we crossed $1M ARR. Very few B2B companies in history have moved from zero to seven figures this fast. We share the number not as a flex, but because it's the clearest signal we have that the problem watt is solving is more urgent and more universal than even we understood. Here's what these eight weeks have taught us about where AI is going.
Co-founder Mike Audi on John Zila joining Watt as Chief Architect, and what his arrival unlocks for the team and our customers. "Watt has two CTOs now. It's a superpower very few startups get to have."
Every database, CDP, and data platform in production today was built for humans querying databases. Agents don't query, they reason. Watt is the first data infrastructure built for AI agents from the ground up, and today we're opening the grid.
