Omen AI adds liquid know-how in $16 million Aquatic Labs acquisition

What happened: Omen AI is acquiring competitor Aquatic Labs in a $16 million cash-and-stock deal, combining their real-time water sensor technologies into one sensor expected on the market by early next year. Key numbers: $16 million deal value; $31 million Series A raised in June; US data centers Why it matters: The combined sensor pairs Omen's element detection with Aquatic Labs' alkalinity testing, which Adams says creates a much richer picture of the water. Laberge said customer projects were financed 12 months ago, so shifting AI infrastructure sentiment does not affect the business.
