Quant Score Deep Dive: Sensate

Sensate has done incredibly well in the equity crowdfunding world. The company has raised millions for its innovative take on stress relief, but that’s just the start of this company’s accolades. With over $5 million in revenue last year and an $18 million valuation, the company is raising at only a little over 3x revenue. This growth has attracted notable investors like Martin Tobias, TenOneTen, Unlock, and Expert DOJO.

The company makes a patented stress relief device. The device simply sits on your chest and vibrates the vagus nerve, which has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels. The Vagus Nerve controls stress levels, and Sensate is the solution to control the vagus nerve.

The company also has an app and subscription which allows users to play various calming music while they use Sensate, and various other tools to control and manage stress. While the company is currently focused on this product, the company is currently leveraging it’s brand to be a powerhouse in stress relief and management.

And if that wasn’t bullish enough, one of the biggest indicators of success is the company has a 2.9/5 on Hubtas, making it the 7th highest-rated company in all of equity crowdfunding right now.
