Our client is a venture-backed startup revolutionizing RF situational awareness at the tactical level by building systems that provide actionable and non-technical information in real time in the field.
The product gives unparalleled insight into the activity of wireless devices at scales ranging from a single room to an entire city. They are solving a net-new, technically hard problem that involves machine learning, embedded systems, signal processing, and user design. Because the problem doesn’t have an existing blueprint (nothing from other fields works out of the box), they approach everything with scientific and mathematical fundamentals.
By disrupting entrenched players by shifting the focus to modular and flexible software. The technology is applied to solve a variety of stakeholder challenges. The software they build bridges the gap between $100 off-the-shelf hardware and the existing $1M+ systems in this space. They are oversubscribed with demand.
With a $25M Series A—an oversubscribed round led by Conviction, Shield Capital, and Nat Friedman.
