Company Overview

We are dedicated to simplifying the journey towards creating a world in which virtually everyone and everything is intelligently connected, while bringing applications and AI to the edge of the network. Most service providers, equipment suppliers, system integrators and even hyperscalers have adopted or advocated for similar solutions to various degrees either independently or in collaboration with the Company. However, to our knowledge, we are the first to market with patented technologies that a) bring virtualized data center capabilities to the far edge of the network, commonly referred to as the Device Edge, where all wired and wireless devices connect to the network, b) spawns hyperconvergence of computing, multiaccess communications and storage, c) provides for Cloud-managed applications at the Edge, d) enables machine learning with AI training, inferencing, and agentic AI at the Edge including AI-driven cybersecurity for heterogenous networks. Such networks are given rise through any combination of our developed devices and third-party devices, with CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, DPUs and/or NPUs, that run the Veea Edge PlatformÔ software stack.

Veea has developed several generations of highly integrated all-in-one devices that incorporate a Linux server, with a virtualized software environment, supporting our patented secured docker containers, together with a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) with a mesh router, a firewall, an IoT gateway, NVMe data storage and 4G/5G modules, referred to as the “VeeaHub” product. With an extensive patent portfolio of approximately 125 granted patents and 25 pending patent applications that cover 26 patent families, our end-to-end Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing platform represents a new product category that has the potential for wide scale customer adoption in large segments of consumer and enterprise markets.

Veea Edge Platform’s products, applications, and services with a distributed computing architecture, offered as a Platform-as-a-Service capability, empower companies to capitalize on the transformative potential of Edge AI, where most of the data from smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, sensors, and other devices is generated, with data privacy and sovereignty, reliability, low latency for real-time decisions, bandwidth efficiency, scalability, and reduced costs compared to alternatives.

VeeaHub products, about the size of a typical Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), are offered in variety of forms with different capabilities for indoor and outdoor coverage and are both locally- and cloud-managed. Veea Edge Platform architecture and business model, VeeaHubÒ and third-party devices on Veea Edge Platform with Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing and AI-enabled applications and services resemble the Android OS platform architecture and business model for Android devices.

The Veea Edge Platform offers a complement, and in some cases an alternative, to cloud computing by enabling the formation of highly secure, but easily accessible, private clouds and networks across one or multiple user(s) or enterprise location(s) across the globe. Benefits of the Veea Edge Platform include optimal latency, lower data transport costs, data privacy, security and ownership, Edge AI, as well as “always-on” availability for mission critical applications, and contextual awareness for people, devices and things connected to the Internet.

Veea earns revenue primarily from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses, and subscriptions.

Recent Developments

Asset Purchase Transaction with Crowdkeep, Inc.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On May 13, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Crowdkeep, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the APA, the Company acquired, upon the closing (the “Crowdkeep Closing”, and the date of such Crowdkeep Closing, the “Crowdkeep Closing Date”) certain assets of Seller relating to Seller’s IoT technology platform business (collectively, the “Crowdkeep Assets”), free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of Seller that are being assumed (collectively, the “Crowdkeep Liabilities” and such acquisition of the Crowdkeep Assets and assumption of the Crowdkeep Liabilities together, the “Crowdkeep Transaction”) in consideration for the issuance to the Seller of 4,065,689 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Price”).

The APA contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The foregoing summary of the APA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Note Purchase Agreements and Convertible Promissory Notes

On April 17, 2025, and May 13, 2025, the Company and the majority stockholder of the Seller (“Crowdkeep Investor”), entered into two Note Purchase Agreements (the “Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements, the Crowdkeep Investor loaned to the Company an aggregate of $1,000,000 in two tranches (the “Crowdkeep Loans”), of which $500,000 was provided on April 17, 2025 and $500,000 was provided on May 13, 2025. In connection with the entry into the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements the Company issued to the Crowdkeep Investor unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Crowdkeep Convertible Notes”). The Crowdkeep Convertible Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, and the interest under the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes accrues at an annual rate of 8%. The maturity date of the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are April 17, 2026, and May 13, 2026, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, upon an event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Crowdkeep Convertible Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, will become immediately due and payable in full. Events of default include failure to pay any principal or interest amounts under the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes, failure to perform covenants in the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes and certain bankruptcy and insolvency conditions of the Company. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes at any time. The Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock (the “Crowdkeep Conversion Shares”) at the option of the Crowdkeep Investor, at a price per share of $5.00 subject to certain equitable adjustments. The Crowdkeep Convertible Notes will automatically convert on the date that the closing price of the Common Stock is at $7.50 or above for ten (10) consecutive trading days within any consecutive thirty (30) trading day period, equal to the lesser of (i) $7.50 per share and (ii) 20% multiplied by the VWAP (calculated as set forth in the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes) for the prior consecutive thirty (30) trading day period, in each case subject to certain equitable adjustments. The Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements and Crowdkeep Convertible Notes include other customary terms and conditions.

The above description of the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements and Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are qualified in their entirety by the text of the Form of Note Purchase Agreement and Form of Convertible Note, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with the Crowdkeep APA and the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements, the Seller and the Crowdkeep Investor entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which the Seller and the Crowdkeep Investor agreed not to effect any sale, distribution or transfer of any of the shares of Common Stock received in the transaction or any Crowdkeep Conversion Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and restrictions against selling short or hedging the Company’s securities for a period of six (6) months following the applicable closing of the APA or the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreement, respectively, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The form of lock-up agreement signed by the Seller is herein referred to as the “Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement” and the form of lock-up agreement signed by the Investor is herein referred to as the “Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement.” The Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and the Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement have substantially similar terms, but the Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement provides for distributions by the Seller to the Seller’s stockholders, pro rata based on their ownership of Seller, subject to certain conditions.

The foregoing description of the Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and form of Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Appointment of Chief Strategy Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance

On May 1, 2025, Randal V. Stephenson was appointed the Company’s Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Strategy Officer.

Equity Line of Credit

On December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) and related registration rights agreement (the “White Lion Registration Rights Agreement”) with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”). Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct White Lion to purchase up to $25.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions as described below (the “ELOC Program”), at a purchase price equal to (i) 96.5% of the volume weighted average stock price for the three consecutive business days after a purchase notice is given, (ii) 98% of the volume weighted average stock price on the day a notice is delivered, or (iii) the lowest traded price for a given purchase date.

The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales to White Lion, which depends on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and determinations by the Company as to appropriate sources of funding for its business and operations. However, White Lion’s obligation to purchase shares is subject to certain conditions, including the daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in White Lion and its affiliate beneficially owning more than 4.99% of its outstanding voting power or shares of common stock at any one point in time, or the aggregate number of shares of common stock would not exceed 19.99% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding common.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 27,498 shares of Common Stock to White Lion in payment of its commitment fee and sold 240,500 shares to White Lion under the ELOC Program for aggregate proceeds of $604,426, with the stock price of shares purchased by the White Lion ranging from $1.79 per share to $3.31 per share. The Company agreed to issue to White Lion 27,498 shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”). The fair value of the Commitment Shares was $25,000, which pursuant to ASC 815, was recorded in transaction costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Common Stock Purchaser has agreed that during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, neither it nor any of its affiliates will engage in any short sales or hedging transactions involving the Common Stock.

Components of Results of Operations

Sales, net

The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price.

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

  • Product development expenses. Product development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to technology developers and product management employees, as well as fees paid for outside services and materials.
  • Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist of compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in selling, marketing and sales support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not currently incur advertising costs.
  • General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) for employees and executive management, and expenses associated with finance, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expenses also includes transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities, information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims and other administrative expenses.
  • Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of Veea’s property and equipment and amortization of Veea’s patents and other intellectual property.
  • Impairment: Impairment consists of impairment charges related to our in-process research and development (“IPR&D”)

Revenue, net

The Company generated revenue of $14,262 and $16,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue has been principally earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices. Our focus over the past several years has been on field testing and refining our product to meet customer needs as well as market developments. As a result of these efforts, we expect revenue to grow over the next several quarters through the sales of our hardware, licenses and subscriptions. We are especially focused in four principal market opportunities: 1) Digital Equity and Inclusion, 2) Energy and Sustainability solutions for Smart Buildings and Climate Smart Agriculture, 3) Convergence of Fixed, Wireless, and 5G Networks, and 4) Smart Retail and Smart Warehouses.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $346, or 3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease is immaterial as it is related to the costs incurred to generate our revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices.

Product Development Expense

Product development expense increased by $121,352, or 129%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in product development expenses was due to increased internal development and additional costs incurred by outside contractors related to products manufactured during the period.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense increased by $262,987, or 305%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to increased program spend to support a greater investment in our go-to-market strategies and drive revenue growth.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by $736,302, or 13%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease for the quarter is primarily related to the Company’s cost reduction measures.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs increased $35,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to costs related to the Crowdkeep acquisition and the ELOC Commitment Shares.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $8,800, or 13%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was due to certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives.

Other income, net

Other income, net relates to immaterial non-operating transactions incurred during the period. These amounts were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities is comprised of the fair value adjustment to the conversion option, Private Warrants, and earn-out shares at balance sheet date. The gain on the change in fair value of conversion note option liability of $59,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $420,497 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was determined based on the trading value of the public warrants. The gain on the change in fair value of the Earn-Out Share Liability of $10,530,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. A significant driver of the changes in fair value was due to the decline in the Company’s stock price.

Other expense

Other expenses relate to immaterial non-operating expenses incurred during the period. These amounts were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $489,716, or 107%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due to additional draws on our revolving line of credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred operating losses of $5.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $213.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses as it continues to grow and scale its business. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $247,341 and outstanding debt of $15.2 million, of which $750,000 was outstanding under the September 2024 Notes, $14.0 million was outstanding under the working capital facility, and $485,000 was related party debt outstanding under the NLabs 2025 Notes.

Although we have incurred recurring losses each year since our inception, we plan to fund our operations and capital funding needs through a combination of private and public equity and debt offerings, or a combination thereof, including (1) expected cash proceeds from the ELOC Program, (2) the expected cash tax refund of up to $2.0 million in respect of the Company’s UK subsidiary’s 2023 and 2024 research and development activities (3) the anticipated refund by June 30, 2025 of up to $5.0 million of the Company’s prepayment for purchased inventory and (4) potential additional investments in the form of debt or equity to fund operating deficits from existing investors, including related parties, which may include the Company’s CEO and his affiliates. The Company expects it will be able to fund its operations over the next twelve months and has a reasonable basis to believe it has alleviated substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Since January 1, 2025, the Company has received $826,000 in additional loans from related parties and $1.0 million of loans from unrelated parties in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Crowdkeep. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

The primary financial measure we use is Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income, before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income excluding income tax provision, interest expense, net of interest income from related party loans, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-core expenses/losses (gains), including transaction-related costs, litigation-related costs, management fees, changes in fair value of liabilities, change in fair value of earn-out share liabilities and other expense, which includes asset impairments. Our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business and this measure is one of the primary metrics by which our internal budgets are based. We exclude the above items as some are non-cash in nature, and others are non-recurring that they may not be representative of normal operating results. This non-GAAP financial measure adjusts for the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the operational performance of our business. While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the periods presented:
