Reasons to Invest

  • Our Second Chapter is Starting SoonKnightscope intends to list in NASDAQ under the symbol “KSCP” on the closing of the offering*  
  • $100 Million+ Raised | With over 28,000 investors, Knightscope has built a community of investors committed to reimagining public safety in the United States 
  • Over 1,000,000 Operating Hours in the Field | Knightscope's crime-fighting robots have been credited with reducing crime as reported by law enforcement agencies and clients 

*subject to meeting NASDAQ listing requirements



Knightscope is reimagining public safety in a time where we believe our nation needs it the most. With our line of American-made Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs), we’re fulfilling our long term commitment to provide the safest possible environments to our country.


Knightscope’s ASRs have over 1,000,000 hours of field operation to date. With a documented and actively-growing record of successful crime prevention, we are taking the necessary steps to build on this momentum.


Chapter Two of Knightscope's Story is Happening Now


Knightscope is focused on the long-term outcomes of the company and we believe listing on the NASDAQ is an important part of our plan.

The Problem


New Security Tools Are Desperately Needed

We believe that there is a clear and immediate need to address the safety of our communities. By some estimates, the negative economic impact of crime is now over $2+ trillion dollars annually.

We believe that there are simply not enough resources to manually and accurately monitor for threats at all times. Innovation is needed, and Knightscope is taking actionable steps to address these issues right now.

The Solution


Knightscope is the Missing Complement to Your Security Force

Knightscope builds Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) to help prevent crime and make public spaces safer. Fitted with eye-level 360° cameras, thermal scanning, public address announcements, and a bevy of other features, our ASRs work in tandem with humans to provide law enforcement officers and security guards unprecedented situational awareness.


Each ASR is designed to enhance the work of existing security operations, not replace them. Combined with the “Knightscope Security Operations Center” (KSOC), our browser-based user interface, teams will have a streamlined monitoring system at their fingertips.

THE MARKET


We are Answering Demand With Innovation

The global security market is projected to expand at over 10% per year, and reach over $165B by 2025. As public safety becomes more top of mind, Knightscope believes it is uniquely situated at the cross-section of multiple key elements of the security market, like video analytics, which was valued at $1.6B in its own right.

We’ve been hard at work on the fifth-generation of the K5 ASR. Outfitted with new hardware, firmware, and electrical systems, our Version 5.0 K5 is slated for release in 2022.



We’re also currently focusing our efforts on bringing the K7 ASR concept to reality. Created for rugged, multi-terrain applications, this model combines the worlds of autonomous tech, robotics, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles.



Finally - the next generation of our stationary K1 machine is in the works. Sporting a sleek new design, we’re excited to talk more about this new release soon.



Our TRACTION


Providing Effective Results

Our intent to publicly list on the NASDAQ would not have been possible without the continued support of our investors.

We’re excited to continue building on the success of the 1,000,000+ hours of field operation that the Knightscope ASRs have logged.


Knightscope clients have already documented some of their amazing wins, proving that our new capabilities are already providing effective results.

After a year of proven benefit for local police, in July of 2021 the Huntington Park City Council unanimously decided to extend their Knightscope contract by two years.


Why Invest


Long Knightscope, Short The Criminals

These are serious times requiring serious technology. Our country’s public safety requires changes to be made - today.


With your kind, gracious, and unwavering support, we’re working to make a massive dent in the problem and we’re off to a good start. Our investors have been vital to writing the first chapter in our history. As we work to meet the NASDAQ listing requirements, let the second chapter begin!

People are quiet when the stock is high but loud when its low. People love to push bearish articles but reject when the company points to a bullish article. People listening to reddit vs doing their own research. I mean come on guys. You either believe in the company and hold for the long term or sell your position and leave. A lot of people are taking advantage of the fact that they actually have the privilege of speaking to the actual CEO of a technology company. So they do the internet warrior gig. Would most of you speak to Bill like this face to face? I don't think you get this kind of engagement with an Elon Musk , or a Tim Cook, or etc.. And one day you never know, Bill maybe right there with them in success. In conclusion if this company even reaches 1/3rd the market cap Bill has said he thinks it can achieve, everyone will really wish they'd bought shares at its current stock price. I would love for Bill to 100% focus on this business and not worry about answering constant questions. However I'm truly grateful that he has given up so much of his time to us. Its literally been 13 days since the IPO. We don't say "Long term hold" just because its fun to say. If the stock price is still as low as it is in 5 years. THEN complain. If not longer. No need for comment Bill. Keep the contracts coming in. Enjoy your time off.

In my opinion, a major factor is that the IPO was poorly priced. That's why the company only raised approx $22.4M, although it targeted $40M. IPOs are not usually dramatically undersubscribed. Rather, they are typically oversubscribed, often by huge multiples. Had the IPO been priced at a more reasonable level, it's quite likely company could have raised much more money. Obviously, earlier investors who invested at higher share prices in previous rounds would have taken an immediate haircut, but, that's a problem only the market can solve in any event. As it is, they are suffering the same fate now, given the stock is down more than 40% . Even worse, the company is left with substantially less cash than it planned to have following the IPO. Had the IPO price been lower, the company would have had a better chance of raising the full amount of capital it targeted ($40M). That would have given it very valuable additional runway to grow revenue before it needed to raise additional capital. As it currently stands, the company raised far less than it targeted AND is suffering from a huge share price decline relative to the IPO. I realize the overall market has been quite volatile (to say the least), but that's precisely why cash flow-negative companies need to raise all the cash they can, when they can. It would be interesting to see how the company would fare should it need to raise additional capital in the near- to mid-term, in what could still be a rough market. Some will say that short term price variations do not matter and, to a large degree, that is true, especially if the company does not need to raise more capital. Can the stock price recover from its current price ($5.62 as I write this)? Of course it's possible. However, one's chance of generating positive returns is much greater when you do not have to dig yourself out of a 40% hole from the outset.

Transfer experience from Computershare to TD has been a real nightmare. I might just dilute it and start anew since you are already publicly trading. :(

Wish I would have been smart enough to register with computershare before. I received my paperwork on my shares and filled out paperwork with my broker to transfer them. My broker just got back to me and said that computershare would not transfer my shares because I had not verified my SS# and may charge me up to $100 for rejecting my transfer??? Went online today to set up an "account" with them and now must wait 2 more weeks to get a confirmation in the USPS before I will be allowed to transfer my shares. What a hassle

Is the partnership with Allied Universal announced Monday a new relationship or simply an extension of a 5 year old agreement? When I initially saw the news, I was impressed and assumed it was a new relationship with a huge player in the security space that had the potential to greatly increase Knightscope's revenue. I added to my position in Knightscope following this news. It seems most of the market was similarly impressed. However, after coming across negative comments elsewhere indicating this was "old news", I started to dig around. I found a release on Allied's website announcing a roadshow with Knightscope's robots way back in 2017. Searching further, I came across a comment that pointed to a Knightscope SEC filing from 2016 (Form 253G2 dated 12/23/2016). I decided to look it up myself. The following is copied directly from the SEC filing: "Allied Universal is the largest private security company in the United States with over 140,000 employees and nearly $5 billion in sales. Securitas is the world’s second largest private security company with 300,000 employees and nearly $10 billion in revenue. Knightscope has executed master service agreements with both firms that allow them to effectively offer our technologies to their existing clients. This provides a more frictionless manner in which a client can onboard the technology utilizing an existing security provider and at the same time provides both security providers a distinct competitive advantage in the marketplace. Although these two firms provide a compelling sales channel, the company does not exclusively rely on these agreements and continues to sell directly or partner with additional firms at its own discretion." Based on the statement above, Knightscope had a business agreement with Allied as far back as 2016. This leads to a couple of obvious questions. First, is the partnership announced Monday new, or simply an extension/modification of the 5 yr old agreement referenced above? Was the old agreement terminated? If so, why? In any event, it's not clear why the press release did not reference an earlier relationship. Second, and more importantly, if there was a channel agreement with Allied from 5 yrs ago (as well as one with Securitas), why didn't revenue ramp faster than it has? What has changed to cause one to believe this will be a driver of "...steady long-term growth" as the CEO stated in the press release? Am I missing something?

Hi Kenneth, thank you for the question. That initial agreement expired a very, very long time ago as both organizations encountered significant operational issues in implementing and wasn't working well for either party (remember we are in unchartered territory as no one has done what we are doing in the history of mankind at any kind of scale!). Since, then both companies have grown, processes changed, organizational changes, technology matured, etc. and we spent the last twelve plus months working hard together addressing what hadn't worked, putting new processes in place, negotiating terms and addressing lessons learned from the field. Like a lot of things, will take some time to implement but excited to place our "Hardware+Software+Humans" strategy to work in a more literal sense with Allied Universal. Lastly, we should also consider the pandemic has changed a great deal of items from working conditions, to staffing availability, to cost structures, etc.

I'm excited, too, but won't be commenting on share price or the like as the CEO of a publicly traded company. The country is 200+ years old and we are not going to solve the problem overnight. Which is why I will continue to say until blue in the face: #LongKnightscopeShortTheCriminals

FAQS

There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

When you invest, you are purchasing an interest in a Series LLC, which owns shares of the underlying company either directly or indirectly. You will not be purchasing shares in the underlying company itself.

A Series LLC, like StartEngine Private, is a parent LLC that includes multiple series, each of which holds interests in different underlying companies. The series either directly or indirectly invests in and holds shares of the underlying company. Each series will merely be a separate series and not a separate legal entity. Under Delaware law, if certain conditions are met, the liability of investors holding one series of interests is segregated from the liability of investors holding another series of interests, and the assets of one series of interests are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other series of interests. In the case of StartEngine Private, each series will be created for the purpose of holding an equity interest in stated underlying companies.

After the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward. Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

The Series of StartEngine Private purchases the underlying securities from an affiliate. The affiliate previously sourced and negotiated the terms to purchase these underlying securities from third parties. The amount paid by the Series is higher than the price the affiliate paid for the securities previously in the secondary market. We also note that while StartEngine does not impose any continuing management fee expenses, there is a carried interest of 20 percent associated with the investment in our series, and therefore, to the extent the securities appreciate in value, there will not be a one-to-one economic parity between the share value of the StartEngine Private shares and the company’s shares. Please read the “Risk Factors,” which is included as Exhibit B to the subscription agreement for further details.

In the event that an underlying company experiences a liquidity event, after the relevant holding period is over, either the proceeds from the sale of the shares will be distributed to investors, or if requested, the shares will be transferred to the investor’s brokerage account of choice, minus any applicable fund operating expenses or carried interest. Holding period length varies from company to company. Please note that we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

Investors are able to cancel their investment for 48 hours after submitting their investment. Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days. Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Regulation D 506(c) allows companies to raise an unlimited amount of capital from accredited investors through general solicitation and advertising, provided that all purchasers are verified as accredited investors. Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

In the US, an accredited investor includes anyone who:

  • earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the prior two years and reasonably expects the same for the current year, or;
  • has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence), or;
  • holds in good standing a Series 7, 65, or 82 license.
For more information, you can visit here and contact your financial advisor.

Please note: you can also have a Licensed Attorney, Licensed Accountant, Registered Broker-Dealer, or Registered Investment Advisor provide a letter affirming your accreditation.

Alternatively, the following information will be required:

  • To verify your income: provide the last 2 years’ worth of tax documents that prove you have had sufficient income for the last two years to meet requirements.
  • To verify your net worth: provide account statements, proof of property ownership, or other documentation showing ownership that proves you have a net worth that meets requirements.
  • To verify your Series 7, 65, or 82 license: provide your FINRA CRD number for validation.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

The availability of company information does not indicate that the company has endorsed, supports, or otherwise participates with StartEngine. It also does not constitute an endorsement, solicitation or recommendation by StartEngine. StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
