Link Labs is an IoT technology company that provides real-time enterprise asset visibility for manufacturing and logistics operations. We operate a PaaS (platform as a service model) for businesses. We are raising an additional $3M on a total round of $13M ($10M already raised Sept 2022). Since then, we have increased MRR 87% to an ARR run rate of $2.8M annually. We are currently Series A, with angel and family funds. Forecast is to reach $5M GAAP ARR run rate by end of this fiscal year and raise growth equity round next year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdxsDqn9dxALink Labs holds nearly 30 US patents (plus international) that enable the technology and provide core differentiation. We are currently processing more than 2 Billion location and sensing events per month!
What we do: We provide our customers with the real-time location and sensing data to know:
1. Where assets are (within 30 cm, indoors and outdoors, at any time, with a global SKU, via a single platform or integrated with their platform)
2. How assets are doing (any BLE sensor - temperature, humidity, shock, tampered, open/closed)
3. What assets are doing (crossing outdoor or indoor boundaries, dwell and transit times, moving/stationary, separated from a group, route history).
Key Differentiators:
1. Unprecedented location capabilities
- Only seamless indoor/outdoor platform combining BLE and UWB indoors, GPS, WiFi sniffing, Cell ID, and RTK outdoors
- 1 meter indoor location accuracy using BLE. Patented BLE phase-ranging location methodology provides best-in-class location accuracy
- 30cm indoor location accuracy using UWB. State-of-the-art UWB location performance. Patented battery efficiency allows for small form-factor tags.
- 10-30+ meter outdoor location accuracy using WiFi, GPS, Cell Id. All available in a single device, configurable priority and use. Integrates to indoor.
- 30cm outdoor location accuracy outdoor using real-time kinematics (RTK).
2. Lowest cost in all respects
- Tags - best battery life in the industry via patented location and Extreme Low Energy (XLE) communication methods. Third-party mass-manufactured.
- Indoor infrastructure is independent of corporate WiFi network, with a simple low-cost modular design.
- Installation - all low-voltage; no unions or certifications required. Easy provisioning and setup.
- Data transport - patented edge processing on tag reduces data transport and processing costs 100-1000x.
- Cloud - infinitely scalable cloud platform architected for best-of-breed data responsiveness and cost efficiency.
- Maintenance - all devices manageable via cloud; firmware over the air (FOTA) capable.
3. Massive use-case extensibility
- Supports hundreds of BLE tag/sensor types (mass manufactured BLE sensors)
- BLE and UWB with same infrastructure
- Supports seamless indoor/outdoor
- Single device can work with hundreds of cell carriers
- Monitor groups of assets traveling together
4. Comprehensive enterprise-grade capabilities
- Global 5G connectivity indoors and outdoors
- Infinite scalability
- Cloud-based device management
- Cloud agnostic platform
- State-of-the-art security
- Easy integrations (MQTT, API to any platform)
- White-glove customer service
Target Markets:
