Funding • Seed (Step 1)

🌱 Seed Round — Start Here

The milestone-based Seed totals $275,000 and can be funded step-by-step—or as a one-time $285,000 commitment (+$10k contingency). Each milestone delivers tangible progress and demo-ready capability.

Why Milestones • What You Unlock

Fund concrete outcomes with clear gates; see working hardware and real signals at each step.

  • Faster proof with measurable progress
  • Lower risk per tranche; transparent deliverables
  • Demo-ready capability by M3/M4

Use of Funds • Snapshot

  • $70,000 — bare-bones FPGA prototype (single device)
  • $30,000 — oscilloscope + backup FPGA
  • $75,000 — near-production off-the-shelf prototype
  • $100,000 — two demo units (in-house & traveling)

Total = $275,000

Prototype Bring-Up $70,000
Single-FPGA pipeline; acquisition path; initial analog→digital gate logic.
Lab Validation $30,000
Scope-verified signal paths; backup FPGA; baseline sub-µs anomaly windows.
Near-Production Prototype $75,000
Mechanical fit; I/O finalized; firmware path stable; controlled demos ready.
Demo Units ×2 $100,000
One long-run validation; one travel unit for investor & agency briefings.
Selected total: $275,000
Tip: you can fund any subset now and add remaining milestones later.

Micro-Tranche Mode

Start as small as $40,000. We’ll apply it to the current milestone queue and report progress until the Seed plan is complete.

Chosen micro-tranche: $40,000
Proceed with Micro-Tranche Switch to milestone picker

Micro-tranches are allocated to the next unfunded line item(s) in M1→M4 order; we’ll confirm assignment and deliverables at each step.

One-Time Seed (All-In)

Fund everything now and compress schedule.

  • $285,000 all-in (+$10k contingency for parts, shipping, NRE)
  • Parallelize procurement and assembly to shave weeks off delivery
  • Lock evaluation windows and travel unit schedule early

Deliverables (Summary)

  • M1–M4 completed; two demo units ready
  • Lab-validated anomaly windows (0.2–1.5 µs) and replay
  • Executive & technical demo days with real signal captures

Roadmap into Round A and Beyond

  • Round A — $2.5M: Scale prototypes into pre-production, expand firmware/FPGA pipelines, first customer pilots
  • Round B — $10M: Manufacturing setup, fleet units for agencies/critical infra, expanded AI models
  • Round C — $30M: Full production campus build-out, services expansion, exportable programs

Seed progress directly de-risks Round A by demonstrating hardware, capture pipelines, and demo-unit outcomes.

What You Get at Seed Completion

  • Two demo-grade units (in-house & traveling)
  • Waveform reconstruction, sub-µs detection, and replay
  • Briefing kits and ROI templates for A-round diligence
