INVEST IN FLASH AI BY FLASH SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY, INC. TODAY!
We’ve signed a recent deal with Baron Industries and partnered with 1200.aero to bring FLASH to small and medium-sized airports as well as 40% of all news outlets in the US in addition to other exclusive partnerships. These channel partners will allow us to distribute our product to established customer bases.
Across 2020, 2021, and 2022 in the US, there were 60 extreme weather events each costing at least $1 billion. These types of weather losses affect more than 30% of U.S. businesses.* Our Total Lightning Solution that combines software and hardware to predict and protect is an example of how we are solving tomorrow’s climate issues today.
Our technology enables the unique ability to predict the start and end of lightning up to 6 hours in advance with great detail up to 1 hour. We have now expanded this product globally to include India and South America where lighting is most prevalent.
the pitch
Flash Scientific Technology is an AI-powered weather intelligence company developing life-saving prediction technology to prepare and protect against a vast array of severe weather, including lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Our software accurately predicts the start and end of lightning up to six hours in advance—capable of predicting the first strike before any storm has developed and the last strike from an active storm—and our hardware solution protects against damage to critical infrastructure. We’ve raised over $3 million, including a Reg D that brought over $500K in two days, to fund the R&D for our best-in-class product. We’re now focused on establishing channel partners with established customer bases, including Baron Industries and 1200.aero, which will bring FLASH to small and medium-sized airports as well as 40% of all news outlets in the US. We believe we’re currently poised for massive entry and expansion within the U.S. and global markets.
Our cornerstone product, Flash Lightning, incorporates a patented algorithm to predict first and last lightning strikes with extremely high levels of accuracy. Our lightning detection services report when lightning has actually been observed in an area, and our CMCE hardware component protects property and infrastructure by preventing lightning strikes in an area up to 10 acres. Behind our pioneering work is a dedicated team of research meteorologists with a combined 75 years in lightning research and AI applications, as well as industry experts across aviation, insurance, and public safety.
In addition to our proprietary software, FLASH has now partnered in Lightning Prevention to be the sole distributor for the FLASH Total Lightning Bundle. These units have been installed at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, BP refineries, saltwater disposal facilities, and the Panama Canal—resulting in no lightning strikes within the zone of protection at any of these facilities. FLASH is now able to address a multitude of sectors from aviation to insurance to public safety. With the globe facing increasingly extreme weather, our technology is ready to predict and protect against an expanding spectrum of weather threats.
The Problem
Lightning accounts for thousands of fatalities per year, on top of major economic losses. In the U.S. economy alone, lightning losses cost $6–7 billion per year, affecting 30% percent of US businesses (source); in 2019, more than $900 million in lightning claims were paid out to nearly 77,000 policyholders (source). Some of the most costly areas of impact are aircraft delays, which cost airlines billions (one hour of weather delay costs up to $4,500 per aircraft (source). Recent studies indicate that each time the global temperature rises by 1 degree Celsius, there will be a 12% increase in incidences of lightning (source). Extreme weather events including tornadoes, hurricanes, hail, and wind storms, are growing increasingly common at a global level, with lightning frequency predicted to increase by as much as 50% by 2100 (source).
OUR SOLUTION
Leveraging machine learning and AI, FLASH has developed a patented, lightning prediction algorithm that can predict lightning with 1 to 6 hoursof lead time, with up to 96.5% accuracy in summer and up to 99.6% accuracy in other seasons. Our software has the capacity to predict the first strike before any storm has developed and the last strike from an active storm; we know where the lightning starts in the clouds within a tenth of a mile, and then can predict the 1 to 3-mile radius where the lightning is expected to strike. We’ve now also added lightning prevention that protects critical infrastructure in up to a 10-acre area.
FLASH operates continuously, providing continental lightning forecasts in less than 500 milliseconds through our API, which we’ve designed to be easily accessible to a variety of customers. Our technology is now ready for distribution, and lightning is only the tip of the iceberg—by drawing upon 30 years of historical data, we’ve trained our software to be applicable to a multitude of industry-specific needs including hail, wind, tornadoes, hurricanes, winter storms, flooding, and frost.
Our sales model will follow a three-track approach, initially targeting the three largest potential sectors: Aviation, Insurance, and Public Safety. In addition to revenue, these initial customers can provide valuable market data that may lead to R&D and implementation of our API services into smartphone, wearable technologies, smart appliances, and other IoT applications.
The Market
Across 2020, 2021, and 2022 in the US, there were 60 extreme weather events each costing at least $1 billion—that’s over $60 billion in just three years. Globally in 2022 there were 29 billion-dollar weather disasters (source). In the U.S. economy, weather sensitive industries account for $3 trillion dollars (source). Due to the realities of climate change and extreme temperatures, these numbers will only continue to rise.
OUR TRACTION
In the U.S. market, we’ve signed recent deals with Baron Industries and 1200.aero to bring FLASH to small and medium-sized airports as well as 40% of all news outlets in the US, the first of many partnerships that will allow us to widely distribute our product to established customer bases. From here, we have now expanded globally, with approved pilot programs for the Peru mining industry, where lightning severely impacts operations, as well as Madhya Pradesh in central India where residents in one of the world’s most lightning-heavy locations saw 47 deaths in one week last year. Moving forward, we’ll partner with a growing number of major corporations to further distribute our life-saving technology.
Why Invest
Our prediction technology is unlike anything else on the market. We’ve developed essential protection against the destructive power of increasingly severe weather events affecting the globe. With FLASH, we greet tomorrow with greater preparedness and the ability to leverage AI and machine learning to save countless lives. Now with added lightning prevention, utilizing the CMCE hardware, we offer a total lightning solution. Join us as we step into the future.
We are an AI-powered weather intelligence company developing life-saving prediction technology to prepare and protect against a vast array of severe weather, now expanded globally.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
