Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
The Company The Company
NeuroPace, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 19, 1997. The Company is a medical device company that has developed the RNS System, the only commercially available brain-responsive neuromodulation system designed for treating drug-resistant focal epilepsy by delivering personalized, real-time treatment at the seizure source. The Company began commercializing its products in the United States in 2014.
At-the-Market Equity Offering
In November 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or Shelf, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination thereof for up to an aggregate of $150.0 million, of which $50.0 million may be issued and sold pursuant to an at-the-market, or ATM, offering program for sales of the Company’s common stock under a sales agreement, or Sales Agreement, with Leerink Partners LLC, or Leerink (formerly SVB Securities LLC). The Company agreed to pay Leerink up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock made through the Sales Agreement. The Company’s common stock would be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale and, as a result, prices may vary. In November 2023, the Company sold 933,500 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of $8.1 million, or $7.6 million after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses. No sales were made pursuant to the ATM program during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has $41.9 million remaining under its ATM program.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $520.2 million as of June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company used $11.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, of cash in its operating activities. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $55.5 million. Historically, the Company has funded its operations principally through the sales of its products, issuance of equity securities and debt financing.
The Company’s condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern for the next 12 months. Management believes that the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will allow the Company to continue its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed financial statements.
In connection with the Term Loan described in Note 6, the Company will need to be in compliance with a minimum annual net revenue covenant determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of $70.0 million in each of the years ending December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 and maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.0 million. If the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company may not be in compliance with the annual net revenue covenant and the lender may call the debt resulting in the Company immediately needing additional capital and resulting in a going concern. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by global economic conditions and disruptions to, and volatility in, the financial markets in the United States and worldwide. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed, it will need to delay, limit, reduce or terminate planned commercialization or product development activities in order to reduce costs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan.
