Crime has a $1+ trillion negative economic impact on the U.S. economy every year and Knightscope is on a mission to cut it in half. Imagine if we could make the United States of America the safest country in the world it would change everything for everyone.

Founded in April 2013, Knightscope is an advanced physical security technology that produces Autonomous Data Machines (ADMs). Knightscope's ADMs are fully autonomous and self-driving gathering significant amounts of data from the environment in real-time and puts the terabytes of data in a usable formula for a human to utilize via its state-of-the-art user interface, the Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC).

The Company is presently deploying its technology with 21 clients in 19 cities, 5 states and 3 time zones. Knightscope's clients include malls, hospitals, corporate campuses, a movie studio, a stadium, an electric utility, a food distribution facility, a pharmaceutical company, a warehouse and a property manager. Microsoft, Juniper Networks, Samsung, ForeScout Westfield Malls, Dignity Health, Boston Properties and the Sacramento Kings, are among many of their distinguished clients.

The Company has reached an all-time high in customer interest with now 170+ potential clients in the pipeline at various stages of the sales process and maturity. The sales team will be visiting Miami, Atlanta, Memphis and Nashville over the coming weeks on the heels of successful trips to NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

Knightscope has raised over $14M in its Seed, Series A and Series B rounds of financing. With the technology now deployed at clients across California, Knightscope is well-positioned to begin to scale further across California and subsequently nationwide. Key strategic investors include NTT DOCOMO, Konica Minolta, Flex Lab IX, and NetPosa. Knightscope has grown its team to over 35 employees in Silicon Valley where it designs and builds the technology with 85% U.S. content. Each machine is marked with the words 'Designed and Built in Silicon Valley.

Knightscope has already had huge success in the field, predicting and preventing crime. This new ground-breaking technology has already been able to assist a law enforcement agency in issuing an arrest warrant, helped catch a thief, caught a vandal and stopped a fraudulent insurance claim to name a few successes.

Looking for the next big idea, Stacy Stephens was seeking advice and help from a seasoned entrepreneur shortly after 9/11. While researching startups, he reached out to a young CEO William Santana Li. Bill and Stacy quickly learned that they shared a passion for technology, hardware, brands, design and service. The two have worked on a number of projects together for more than 15 years and have developed a collaborative shorthand that assists them in their ventures

We started Knightscope because we were horrified by the mass shooting at Sandy Hook and the impact of 9/11 on our country. And now the ongoing daily increase in violence globally has intensified our efforts. We want to build something great for our country and we believe down to our bones that we can use technology to help build safer, engaged communities while significantly reducing costs and reducing crime. That spark has turned into a grander vision to cut the annual $1 trillion negative economic impact of crime on the U.S. in half!Our team wakes up every morning with a singular focus and chance to do something about it - and we have and will continue to put our blood, sweat and tears into the effort of better protecting our country and keeping our communities safe. No matter what it takes.

These positions ranged from component, systems, and vehicle engineering with Visteon, Mazda, and Lincoln; to business & product strategy on the US youth market, India, and the emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and South America; as well as the financial turnaround of Ford of Europe. In addition, he was on the AMAZON team, which established an all-new modular plant in Brazil. Subsequently, he served as Director of Mergers & Acquisitions.

After internally securing $250 million, Bill founded and served as COO of GreenLeaf LLC, a Ford subsidiary that became the world's 2nd largest automotive recycler. Under his leadership, GreenLeaf grew to a 600-employee operation with $150 million in sales - now part of $8 billion LKQ Corporation.

After successfully establishing GreenLeaf, Bill was recruited by SOFTBANK Venture Capital to establish Model E Corporation as its President and CEO, a new car company where the "Subscribe and Drive" philosophy was first pioneered in California. He subsequently co-founded Build-To-Order Inc. (BTO) as its President and CEO, a new car company based on the direct distribution of build-to-order products. Bill also founded Carbon Motors, and as its Chairman and CEO, focused it on developing the world's first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle. He also built an advisory board comprised of senior officials that had worked directly for 3 different U.S. Presidents.

Bill earned a BSEE from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA from the University of Detroit Mercy. He is fluent in Spanish and conversant in Portuguese.
