Company Description:

krtkl (“critical”) is a San Francisco-based hardware company providing edge-computing solutions to companies developing high-integrity systems and products in the areas of robotics, automation, video processing, and communication.

Video Pitch:

Size, power, performance, BOM cost, and integration are huge challenges companies face with embedded and full product development. krtkl's core product “snickerdoodle" is a business-card-sized, industrial-grade computer that enables complex automation, embedded video processing, and mechatronic system integration. snickerdoodle acts as a platform for securely licensing third-party software and IP that’s tightly coupled to krtkl hardware, reducing OEM’s time-to-market by several months and development costs by six figures.
Existing commercial applications include multi-camera synchronization and video compression for smart retail and process automation, hard-real-time motor control and path planning for industrial robotics, low-power/high-endurance remote sensing for military and defense, and data collection and processing for preventative maintenance.
