Reasons to Invest

  • We provide unique solutions to intractable problems in public health.
  • Our unique EPS technology is applicable to many important and growing markets.
  • Lightsense has a strong and experienced management team with innovative differentiated products powering future SaaS and disposable revenue pathways.




OVERVIEW


At Lightsense, we’re breaking new ground in public health

That’s because we are translating expensive, tabletop spectrometer instrumentation into miniaturized, handheld platforms - all with AI/ML powered optical detection technology that can serve a wide range of analytical applications.



Our focus is on utilizing this new class of tools to help solve some major problems in public health - such as detecting fentanyl and other illicit drugs in the opioid epidemic, detecting viral pathogens in the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as detecting bacterial pathogens in the food safety field.



We are a diverse and experienced group of successful scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs focused on using modern optics techniques (especially miniaturized spectroscopy), advances in sensors and machine learning to attack problems related to public health in new, insightful ways.



THE PROBLEM


Public Health is facing some critical problems


In all the critical areas of public health - the common thread is that detection and testing solutions need to be faster, less expensive and more accurate. 


THE SOLUTION


Meet the Multispectral Point-of-Need Analyzers

Lightsense has developed a multi-spectral technology platform, the patented “Enhanced Photodetection Spectroscopy” (EPS) , a radical new spectroscopy architecture, for chemical, molecular and pathogen identification. 

 

Our devices can address critical analytical and detection problems in multiple areas of public health -  like rapid detection of illicit drugs, rapid screening for viral/bacterial pathogens, and monitoring bacterial pathogens in various parts of the food supply chain.




When it comes to the science: Spectroscopy uses light of many wavelengths to analyze objects or chemical compounds. This light energy interrogates the molecule of interest and produces a spectral response - creating what scientists call a “spectral fingerprint.” This fingerprint contains large amounts of data, and with our multispectral approach, data fusion and analysis, we can increase sensitivity. AI/ML can be used to detect known patterns and monitor samples, like in the three mentioned areas of public health, above, where we are creating solutions and partnerships.  




Machine Learning is a critical feature in our technology. It not only uses algorithms to detect patterns otherwise not visible and predict outcomes, EPS spectra contain large amounts of data which are aggregated in Cloud databases, allowing monetizing them as a new subscription service. 



Our business model includes both hardware and SaaS components. What makes us unique is a radical new and patented spectroscopy that integrates three or more individual spectroscopies with data fusion and machine learning analytics. Our miniaturization technology allows the construction of integrated small and handheld instruments. 

 

Our IP can also be licensed along with products in specific domain applications. Unique solutions can be crafted for individual partners and customers justifying licensing agreements and related higher margins.


We project our various hardware platforms to cost between $5K and $20K, and we believe we can outperform more expensive competing products, both in performance and in simplicity and ease of use. We project additional revenue from software (SaaS subscriptions) and for certain applications, disposable sample holders. 







THE MARKET


Applications in a Multitude of Industries 

Our applications and technology will find applications beyond traditional areas of Public Health. We anticipate that our devices will address critical analytical and detection problems in a wide range of large vertical markets.

 

Here’s the Total Addressable Markets (TAMS) from our initial focus markets. 




Lightsense miniaturized handheld spectrometers can be used in a variety of analysis applications with performance comparable to that of laboratory instruments, but at a dramatically lower cost, and ease of use. 


Our handheld spectrometers, both current products and instruments under development, are lightweight, easy to use, accurate, faster, and less expensive than competing technologies. We believe our technology will reach a multitude of industries.

Our Traction


Completed first raise, and accelerating with a second

We completed our first seed “A1” raise with SeedInvest, and will accelerate our developments with a second “A2” seed round now. 


Among our recent accomplishments, we received a Food and Beverage Magazine Award for the top 10 food safety solutions providers (Source).

 

The basis for the Lightsense technology portfolio has been developed by a seasoned and accomplished team over many years. Collectively, we’ve been granted over 150 patents in our careers, on a wide range of technologies.  


Currently, the Lightsense patent portfolio lineup includes:

  • 7 issued or allowed patents on miniaturized spectrometers and EPS multi-spectral designs, including both Lightsense owned and exclusively licensed
  • 4 patent applications
  • Multiple patent applications in preparation


WHY INVEST


Providing more and sensitive data for machine learning


By focusing on new techniques for sample preparation and data analysis, as well as advances in sensors and machine learning -  we expect to enable new solutions in areas of public health with very high sensitivity and easy-to-use products that are efficient and lower cost. 


Success for us looks like ..

  • Growing revenue and margin in our targeted areas, along with increased government contracts and awards to further our scientific foundations
  • Having robust and profitable partnerships in 3-4 market segments that utilize our technologies in different ways

Thank you for the great webinar. I am a returning investor and have done my homework on the Lightsense offering and its eligibility for the majority of the QSBS requirements. Similar question to what I asked during the funding round on another funding platform. I am wondering if Lightsense can provide confirmation that the company has less than $50 million in aggregate gross assets immediately after the StartEngine offering closes and that at least 80% of the company's assets are expected to be used in the active conduct of business (essentially just confirming that you are not expecting to be an investment company whose primary line of business in buying ownership in other companies). Is this something that would be possible to obtain?

Why is the focus on the drug (e.g. fentanyl) detection primarily on law enforcement. There are over 10,000 deaths in our province since 2016, due to this crisis. I have no issue with detection for enforcement, but interested in your thoughts on the market in detection related to saving lives?

A month ago, John H reported being unable to invest in Lightsense because of a StartEngine bug on investing. I reported the same 3 days ago. StartEngine is taking a cut of Lightsense' startup funding but is not holding up on its end of the bargain. Start Engine needs to FIX THIS and then extend the time for Lightsense' raise and also work to promote it since it has impeded Lightsense' progress. BTW, StartEngine sent me a link to submit an investment and it doesn't work either. I strongly suggest Lightsense raise this issue with Start Engine also.

Hello, would it be possible to give your point of view on potential competitors and how your products relate to theirs? It is not mentioned in the pitch deck. Multi-purpose handheld spectrometers are already available on the market, and the ones you have developed seem to only target very specific compounds. What would be the edge that you have over your competitors? Thanks.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!

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.
