Investors
HaCKSEE is building the infrastructure layer for hands-on hardware security training. The platform combines instrumented hardware nodes, cloud orchestration, and browser-based lab delivery so real experiments can be deployed at program scale.
$1M+ in non-dilutive support
Federal and state backing has funded hardware development, instructional validation, and early commercialization work.
Multiple university pilots
Multiple university pilots are scheduled for Spring 2027 instructional deployment.
Patent pending, company formed
HaCKSEE is patent pending, and HaCKSEE LLC was formed in February 2026.
The Gap
Hardware security is still hard to deliver.
Institutions that want real hardware security labs still face the same barriers: specialized equipment, setup complexity, faculty time, and physical lab access. That limits adoption and makes remote delivery difficult.
The Product
HaCKSEE packages the full lab workflow.
Users work in a notebook interface, submit jobs to instrumented hardware, and receive results back in the browser for analysis. Underneath that workflow is a managed stack that handles orchestration, node allocation, and reset operations.
Business Model
How revenue can scale
The company is designed around recurring academic access, future certification offerings, and higher-value institutional or enterprise engagements.
Academic access
Annual access for colleges and universities that need repeatable hardware security labs without building local infrastructure.
Certifications
Future certification offerings for individual learners and partner-led programs built on hands-on lab delivery.
Enterprise programs
Workforce development and internal training for engineering, security, and product teams working with embedded systems.
Platform licensing
White-label or partner-led delivery models for organizations that want HaCKSEE infrastructure behind their own training offer.
What Is Defensible
Why this can become a durable platform
Patent-pending system design
HaCKSEE combines instrumented hardware, remote operation, and lab delivery in a product-specific system design.
Full-stack delivery
Hardware, firmware, orchestration, and notebook workflow are designed together instead of stitched together from separate tools.
Instructional validation
The platform comes out of funded hardware security research and is being shaped around real instructional deployment.
One platform, multiple buyers
The same infrastructure can support academic programs, certifications, and institutional or enterprise training teams with limited product drift.
Current Status
Where the company stands today
$1M+ in federal and state support across research, validation, and commercialization work.
$300K NSF award in June 2025 for the current platform effort, plus earlier NSF-backed educational validation that informed the platform design.
Working v0.2 hardware node and cloud stack already in place.
Pilot planning underway across multiple universities for Spring 2027 deployment.
Patent pending status in place.
HaCKSEE LLC formed in February 2026.
Operating Thesis
Start with education. Expand through infrastructure.
HaCKSEE starts where demand is visible and underserved: hands-on hardware security instruction. The longer-term value is the infrastructure itself, including shared device orchestration, repeatable lab delivery, and a platform that can support multiple buyer types.
