Knightscope first commercialized autonomous technology for real-world applications in 2015 with the K5, the first fully autonomous security robot dedicated to outdoor usage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The smaller K3 was launched shortly thereafter as a direct result of customer demand for an indoor solution.

Knightscope currently operates across California and contract negotiations have commenced for deployments in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas. These groundbreaking technologies are offered on a Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model to customers seeking enhanced security operations. This approach greatly reduces the cost, time, complexity and stress of deploying traditional security commodity solutions, while providing ongoing software, firmware and hardware upgrades free-of-charge so that clients can keep pace with latest technology innovations.

“Knightscope has a number of potential clients that have expressed interest in our security robots over the past several years,” says Stacy Dean Stephens, vice president marketing & sales, Knightscope, Inc. “We are thrilled to now be able to answer that demand across the country and to begin fulfilling our mission to reduce crime in America.”

“We’ve raised over $14 million in prior financings and are now raising up to $20 million in our Reg A+ ‘mini-IPO’. In 2017, thanks to a new regulatory framework for early stage companies, Americans can now invest directly in a Silicon Valley startup completely online in a similar manner to purchasing stock for a publicly traded company,” stated William Santana Li, chairman and chief executive officer, Knightscope, Inc.
