We build a platform that connects autonomous networked Sensor system to customer's mission critical control centers. We further added software as a service (SaaS) where customers pay for our software as a service to access the network of sersors. We are generating revenue from this sector. Our proprietary and disruptive MEMS technology delivers sub-ppb detection levels for carcinogenic VOCs( Volatile Organic Compounds). Most VOCs are carcinogenic to human health and precursor to ground level smog. Our customers are large OIL/GAS , petrochemical companies and large OEMs.

Working with WIMS( Wireless Integrated MicroSensing and Systems) leaders identify high valued wireless and sensor technologies for potential use in industry.

Sand Hill Angels (SHA) makes seed-stage investments in disruptive, scalable technologies to build profitable businesses.
