About Supply

Supply is a technology firm focused on developing wireless charging solutions that operate over a distance. Founded by Patrick Cason, the company aims to move beyond the limitations of conventional induction-based charging pads. Cason, a seasoned full-stack software engineer with over 17 years of experience in diverse sectors including finance, AI/ML, and healthcare, brings extensive technical leadership to the venture. His background includes managing large engineering teams and multi-million-dollar budgets, as well as significant work in open-source data science and machine learning projects.

The company engineers radio frequency (RF) based systems that transmit power through the air, similar to how Wi-Fi distributes internet data. This approach allows for the charging of multiple devices simultaneously without the need for direct physical contact or precise alignment with a charging station. The core of the technology involves a transmitter that sends RF energy to a receiver chip embedded within a device, which then converts this energy into DC power to charge the battery. This method of power delivery is designed to create a charging zone, automatically powering enabled equipment that comes within its range.

Supply's target market includes both consumer electronics and commercial applications where untethered power is a significant advantage. The business model likely involves licensing its patented technology to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and selling its proprietary transmitters and receiver components. By offering a solution that provides power at a distance, Supply addresses the inconvenience associated with traditional charging cables and contact-based pads, enabling devices to remain operational and mobile while charging. The broader market for 'at-a-distance' wireless power is competitive, with other companies also developing RF, resonant, and inductive technologies for various applications, from small consumer gadgets to electric vehicles.
