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.

Link 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:
1. Manufacturing
  • IoT Market $88B, CAGR 12%
  • Heart of the Factory - WIP tracking (dwell times, bottlenecks, causes) and Tools/Calibrated instrument tracking
  • Upstream (supply chain) - Flow of parts and subassemblies, parts inventory on manufacturing floor
  • Downstream (distribution) - Finished goods inventory, finished goods delivery tracking and monitoring
2. Logistics
  • IoT Market $117.B, 11.3%
  • Leased Equipment - Fleet peripherals (trailers, chassis), Industrial (generators, earth moving, power tools, etc.)
  • Shared Equipment - Medical (pumps, ventilators, etc.), Instruments (calibrated tools, lab equipment, etc.)
  • Reusable Transport Items - pallets/totes/crates, cold chain monitoring
