Growth Through Expansion

The measure of a well served Knightscope client is when the client subscribes to our services, reaps the benefits of the value offered, and then renews their contract year over year. The GREATEST measure, however, is when that same client expands the scope of their contract to increase the coverage being provided. And another Knightscope client has done just that — for the second time!

A well-known telecommunications equipment company that already had two Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) patrolling two of their properties, one at each location, just signed up for a second robot at one of those properties giving them three robots overall. Knightscope’s K5s have successfully deterred vagrant encroachment and crime with their existing two deployments, and the third robot will enhance the security presence at one of the locations as a more prominent force multiplier.

Another Client “Stores” K5 at California Facility

Knightscope deployed a K5 Autonomous Security Robot at another California storage facility.  Nowadays, more and more people turn to renting some kind of self storage space, either when moving or for commercial purposes.  Unfortunately, thieves and vandals often see self storage facilities as an easy target, so self storage owners look to innovation in order to improve onsite security of those facilities and protect the precious items kept on their premises.  Knightscope is proud to have been the chosen technology to elevate this property’s security profile!

Knightscope Signs First Residential High-Rise!

We have a new client contract in Houston, Texas, at our first luxury high-rise condominium.  Condominiums have unique sets of needs when it comes to safety. Not only are there people constantly coming and going due to the high number of occupants, but there is also a higher number of entry points and common areas.  Therefore, it is critical that building managers and HOAs deliver effective security strategies.  This two-robot subscription agreement includes K5 outdoor and K1 stationary Autonomous Security Robots to help protect the parking garage and main entry of the building. 

First Deployment in Oregon!

The big news in Salem 96 years ago was that more than 40,000 people were able to see the Liberty Bell on July 15, 1915, during its trip to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.  Today, Knightscope has deployed a self-driving #securityrobot from the Bay Area to a popular Salem shopping center to help protect the freedom that the famed Bell represents.  Like other shopping centers, retailers are looking for innovative ways to ensure safety and security, and the K5 Autonomous Security Robot is a valuable resource to their programs.

First South Carolina Contract!

Knightscope has signed a new client at an apartment complex in South Carolina, which will be our first deployment in the state. Historically, apartment complexes have often been targeted by thieves looking for an easy score – be it an unsecured vehicle or an item left behind in plain sight.

Multi-resident communities present criminals with a lot of opportunities in a small space. Some residents feel a false sense of security when parking their vehicles in such communities because of the number of people coming/going at all hours of the day. Unfortunately, most of the residents don’t know each other, which makes it difficult to identify the intentions of anyone seen in the area – good or bad.

Knightscope’s K5 Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) will be tasked with protecting one property to help curb criminal mischief, vehicle break-ins and trespassers in the area. We are so excited to lend another watchful eye to the South!

Knightscope Hires General Counsel

To round out the well-seasoned Management team at Knightscope, the Company has recruited Peter M Weinberg as General Counsel.  Mr. Weinberg brings 30 years of diverse corporate counsel experience to our efforts to better secure our country, spanning from startups to well-established companies, private and public.

Onward!

LAS VEGAS DEJA VU!

Another K5 Autonomous Security Robot in process of being deployed in Las Vegas! “Clifford” will be patrolling a gated community tirelessly protecting his new neighbors – and, yes, 24/7 in the summer desert heat! The success of Knightscope’s deployment in Liberty Village (also in Las Vegas) prompted another property management company to investigate the capabilities and effectiveness for their own neighborhood, which will augment their existing security program.

Who’s next?! It could be you if you book a private demo with one of our experienced account executives at www.knightscope.com/demo today!

Knightscope K5 Featured in Marvel Studios Disney+ LOKI series

The cat is finally out of the bag – Knightscope was featured in Episode 2 of the Marvel Studios Disney+ LOKI series! After over a year of keeping our mouths stapled, glued and taped shut (because something like this is so exciting!), “The Variant” aired recently with our K5 Autonomous Security Robot appearing three different times protecting the Multiverse. Autographs anyone?

"Knightscope - party of FIVE!" Feasting at the Buffet of Casinos

Guess what, folks?! Surprise – another casino contract! This time a family of five Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs), four K1s and one K5, will be heading to a luxury resort in northern California to help protect guests and patrons in this first phase of a planned two-phase deployment.

Knightscope is proud that the resort and casino industry has embraced this exciting and ‘game changing’ (pun intended) technology to elevate the security profile and guest experience.
Now, where is the dessert buffet table? Robots can celebrate, too, you know!

Imua Knightscope Ohana! (Onward Knightscope Family!) - Our first sale in Hawaii!

Within moments of the announcement of our most recent sale to a financial institution in Hawaii, everyone at Knightscope all of a sudden became an expert deployment technician! Clearly the excitement of adding our 6th U.S. Time Zone has had a positive effect on us all.

The FBI reported over 2,400 financial institution robberies in 2019, and they have become a common target among vagrants who are panhandling, seeking shelter and/or breaking into vehicles. The lack of safety discourages customers from using certain branches causing some banks to close locations due to the lack of traffic.  Knightscope will be deploying 2 (TWO) K5 Autonomous Security Robots in Honolulu on the Hawaiian Island of O’ahu to help preserve the peace and keep customers safe 24/7/365.

Washington, D.C. Client!

Knightscope is thrilled to announce a new contract in our Capitol City of Washington DC. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser and acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III announced an initiative to curb the violence in certain “hot spots” as we head into the Summer.

An unnamed property management company will be working closely with the Metropolitan Police Department and Knightscope to help clean up its property in one such area where assaults, murders and robberies far exceed the national average. The client further indicated that they plan to subscribe to another K5 for a sister-property when the first K5 proves itself to be effective.  Request a demo.

It’s in the Cards.

Making our way through the gaming industry one robot at a time.  Apparently, all of the California casinos with Knightscope Autonomous Security Robots are making an impression on the neighboring states.  An indoor deployment is now underway in Reno, NV, with the K5’s smaller sibling, the K3.  The K3 is ideally suiting for interior spaces where foot traffic, furnishings and, in this case, slot machines call for a smaller footprint to navigate.  Our friendly security robot will enhance the guest experience while keeping watch over their safety.  Request a demo.

Another Phoenix Deployment

Aaaaand we’re back! Immediately following a deployment at a popular Phoenix shopping mall, we are back again deploying this stunningly dressed K5 at a twin-tower high rise in downtown Phoenix. We will be helping to protect tenants and guests at a location situated near popular attractions such as the Convention Center, Talking Stick Arena, Chase Field, college campuses, dining, hotels, entertainment and more. Request a demo.

Are You Going Public?!

That’s still our plan! Recent interest in Knightscope has been quite strong. We are now backed by over 28,000 investors and 4 major corporations and have raised over $90 million since we started back in 2013 to build our crime-fighting technology from scratch. Our long-term mission is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world – and with your continued support, we will reimagine public safety, together, at a time when our Nation needs it most.

A Letter to Our Investors
