Liquid Wire

Stretchable circuits and sensors for wearables

Overview

Liquid Wire develops stretchable, pliable circuits and sensors that can be embedded into medical wearables and performance apparel without heat or soldering. Its proprietary Metal Gel MGx conductive material and laminating process let circuits act as both conductors and strain sensors, while tolerating extensive bending and machine washing. These fabric-friendly circuits move with the body to enable precise musculoskeletal monitoring and deformation sensing in items like gloves and sportswear. Compared with others, Liquid Wire offers true fabric integration, high durability, and dual-function sensing and conduction, with options to sell directly or license the technology to manufacturers.

  • Headcount fell from 49 in 2023 to 17 in 2026, indicating severe contraction.
  • A 17-person team without visible hiring makes commercialization failure an existential risk.

What makes Liquid Wire unique

  • Its Metal Gel MGx platform combines conductors and strain sensors for medical wearables.
  • Patent protection on liquid-based wire extends into 2037, supporting technical defensibility.
