Investors

HaCKSEE is the cloud infrastructure layer for hardware security. We turn physical lab capacity into a scalable, cloud-managed service.

Why now

Hardware security needs its “Cloud Moment.” Software security scaled globally — training and tooling moved online. Hardware stayed lab-bound. Every new student still means another physical bench. Demand for hardware-aware talent is accelerating and institutions have no scalable path to meet it.

Market opportunity

Every university, academy, and agency that teaches hardware security is a potential customer. None of them can currently scale without compromising on realism. HaCKSEE sits at the intersection of cybersecurity education, remote lab infrastructure, and workforce development — a gap no one else is closing.

Business Model

We sell concurrent lab sessions.

Institutions license the number of simultaneous experiments their cohorts can run. Hardware is pooled and shared — maximizing utilization and keeping costs low. Revenue scales directly with platform usage.

Tier 1

Classroom

Small session allotment for a single course. Low barrier, fast to deploy.

Tier 2

Program

Department-wide access for multiple parallel courses across a semester.

Tier 3

Institution

Full deployment with dedicated hardware, custom support, and outcomes reporting.

Customers

Who we serve

Phase 1

Universities

Academic programs that need scalable lab access without buying hardware for every student.

Phase 2

Training Academies

Bootcamps and professional programs building hardware security talent at scale.

Phase 3

Government & Defense

Agencies and contractors requiring reproducible, measurable hardware security training.

Competitive Advantage

Why this is hard to copy

Hardware + Software

Custom FPGA boards and a cloud control plane built together. Software-only competitors cannot replicate this depth.

Validated by Research

Multi-university longitudinal study backed by NSF. Adoption is driven by evidence, not just claims.

Operational Expertise

Running real hardware at remote scale — scheduling, resetting, orchestrating — is hard-won expertise that takes years to build.

Measurable Outcomes

Engagement telemetry and performance data give institutions clear ROI — a selling point competitors lack.

Traction

Where we stand

NSF-funded and validated

$300K awarded through the NSF Secure & Trustworthy Cyberspace program. Multi-university study live at USF, University of Kansas, and Texas Woman’s University.
