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.

William, I wanted follow up on the "Town Hall" meetings you discussed a month ago since you opted not to have quarterly earnings calls. Do you have any dates scheduled yet? I've seen nothing posted. Thanks.

I invested pre-IPO. I am disappointed to see that the stock has lost 40% however, I thought there was something to be gained from investing before the IPO. What did I get that I couldn't get now?

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?

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

StartEngine makes it easy to invest using your retirement funds. You can open a self-directed IRA account through Equity Trust, a trusted provider fully integrated with our platform. This integration allows for a fast, secure, and seamless investing experience, and includes a special offer on annual feesexclusively for StartEngine investors.

Already have a self-directed IRA with another provider? You can still invest on StartEngine, but please note that the process will be manual and may take longer to complete.

To get started, simply visit our IRA page for more information and step-by-step instructions.

At 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.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

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.

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.

StartEngine facilitates three types of primary offerings:

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Capital, LLC. Some of these offerings are open to the general public, however there are important differences and risks.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

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.

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.
