Company profile
researched Aug 2026FUZE Technology Inc. is a Los Angeles-based IoT company that combines connected hardware with software and advertising services. Its flagship product, chargeFUZE, provides pay-per-use rentals of portable phone chargers from physical stations deployed at venues and other public locations; rentals can be initiated through the mobile app, text-to-rent, card-present/point-of-sale terminals, or other methods the company makes available. Pricing, availability, rental duration, eligible locations and loss/damage policies are set by the company and can vary.
In June 2024 FUZE introduced adFUZE, an in-house data-backed advertising platform that delivers targeted media through digital out-of-home screens and connected TV inventory at premium locations, with targeting, analytics and real-time measurement across entertainment, retail and hospitality environments. The company describes its broader offering as a global network of IoT utilities backed by data-driven advertising, with hardware providing consumer utility that generates first-party data used to attach advertising. Its stated service scope spans kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, digital media, advertising and marketing solutions, payment and commerce services, loyalty and subscription programs, and data intelligence products.
Business model
FUZE deploys IoT hardware that delivers a consumer utility (charging) and uses the resulting consumer engagement and first-party data to sell advertising. Revenue sources indicated include pay-per-use charger rentals and the adFUZE advertising platform, alongside stated offerings such as payment and commerce services, loyalty and subscription programs, and data intelligence products.
Pay-per-use rental fees for portable chargers, priced at FUZE's discretion and subject to change, together with advertising sold on the adFUZE DOOH/CTV network; the terms of service also reference subscription and loyalty programs and data intelligence products.
Traction
In June 2024 the company closed an $11.5 million Series A to support growing demand, international expansion and new product development, with partners including Live Nation, ASM Global and Simon Property Group participating as investors; ASM Global cited a global chargeFUZE partnership across its venues and events.
Latest developments
Alongside the June 2024 Series A, FUZE launched adFUZE and unveiled a corporate rebrand from its chargeFUZE-centric identity to FUZE Technology; its terms of service were updated in July 2026 and cover an expanded set of services including kiosks, POS terminals, payments and commerce, loyalty and subscription programs, and data intelligence products.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
FUZE positions chargeFUZE as a pay-per-use mobile charging solution operating a global network, and describes itself as an IoT utilities network backed by data-driven advertising; investors and partners include large venue and entertainment operators.
The company pairs its own IoT utility hardware with an in-house advertising platform, using first-party data collected from consumer charging sessions to target and measure DOOH and CTV advertising rather than relying on third-party ad infrastructure.
Technology
The company blends connected hardware (charging stations, portable battery chargers, kiosks, POS terminals, digital screens) with software for rental initiation, payments and account management, plus an advertising stack providing data-driven targeting, advanced analytics and real-time data for DOOH and CTV campaigns.
Go-to-market
Distribution runs through venue and property partnerships — including live entertainment, sports and retail operators such as Live Nation, ASM Global and Simon Property Group, several of which are also investors — with consumer access via a mobile app, text-to-rent and card-present terminals at stations.
Consumers who rent chargers on the go at venues and public locations; venue and property operators hosting stations; and brands and advertisers seeking DOOH and CTV placements in entertainment, retail and hospitality environments.
Geography
Headquartered in Los Angeles, United States, with stated international expansion plans and investors based in London, New York and Melbourne.
History
The company first established itself through chargeFUZE, a pay-per-use mobile charging service. In June 2024 it announced the close of an $11.5 million Series A round, launched the adFUZE advertising platform and rebranded to FUZE Technology, positioning chargeFUZE as one product within a broader IoT utilities and advertising network.
Risks & controversies
The terms of service require binding individual arbitration and include a class-action waiver for U.S. users, with a 30-day opt-out; users assume the risks of charger and station use, and FUZE disclaims guarantees on charge level, charging rate, compatibility and duration. A California Proposition 65 warning states that chargers and stations can expose users to chromium.
