It was another busy year! Despite the headwinds in scaling up any business (memo: 95%+ of startups fail) we made a lot of progress and kept pushing forward while ignoring the naysayers. We are beyond excited for the numerous items we have brewing for 2020 but before we get to working on those initiatives, we wanted to reflect on 2019 with you!
- Backlog – for the first time in Company history we ended up with a seven-figure backlog of signed contracts which is, as they say, a “good problem” to have on hand (but, still a problem)
- Nationwide TV – we’ve been lucky to be covered by the media extensively but was cool to be highlighted by the Today Show
- Law Enforcement – we were able to deploy at our first 2 police departments (and our first 2 municipalities as well); only 19,000+ more to go!
- VWD – completed our first alpha prototype of Visible Weapon Detection
- Face Rec – announced our beta release of facial recognition
- New Verticals – we signed our first movie theater chain as well as our first aerospace/defense contractor
- Reg A+ IPO – got qualified by the U.S. SEC for our Reg A+ IPO which is now underway; this is an opportunity to buy shares ahead of a possible public listing;
- Healthcare – we are now operating across 3 hospitals 24/7/365
- Major Renewal – humbled by the opportunity to renew a major corporation with 9 machines across 5 location and 3 states
- Triple! – one of our clients tripled its security robot team from two (2) to six (6) machines. The expansion makes this our largest deployment of security robots at a single location to date.
- Verizon 5G – Knightscope was accepted into the Verizon 5G Lab and we are working together on technologies for first responders
There was a lot more that happened behind-the-scenes and we are invigorated to get going on 2020. And to start things off with you, here’s an opportunity to learn more about Knightscope for those considering buying shares for the first time or investing again:
