The Problem

Dealerships are losing the security arms race.

18,000 franchised US dealerships leave millions in inventory outside every night. Rhodium doubled back to $10,400/oz in late 2025. Catalytic converter theft is surging again — and the existing stack doesn't stop it.

01 / GUARDS
$35–60K/yr

Night guards are expensive, inconsistent, and carry liability. Turnover is chronic. They take breaks. They miss events. They still cost more than Guardian.

02 / CAMERAS
Passive

Every dealership already has them. They record the crime — they don't prevent it. Footage resolves insurance claims, not theft. Inventory still walks off the lot.

03 / ECONOMICS
$2–4K

Cost per stolen converter, before vehicle damage, insurance premiums, and lost customer trust. Legislation hasn't closed the gap. Rhodium economics keep pulling thieves back.

Deployed. Live. Today.

Catalytic converter thefts since deployment.

Nimnicht had a recurring theft problem before Guardian. They haven't had one since. That's the product. That's the pitch.

How Guardian Works

Patrol. Detect. Deter. Report.

A full closed-loop system. Customer doesn't manage anything — we monitor the fleet, push updates, handle maintenance. The robot arrives, works, and sends a monthly invoice.

01

Patrol

Autonomous navigation across the lot on a learned route. ~6 hours per charge, self-docks, resumes.

02

Detect

Computer vision identifies people, vehicles, motion in restricted zones. 70 events flagged in first deployment.

03

Deter

LED strobes, siren, two-way speaker activate in real time. Active response — not passive recording.

04

Report

Every event streams to the cloud dashboard with video. Review anything, anytime, from any device.

Market

We don't need to win the market.
We need to win Florida.

Florida added 21 dealerships in 2024 — the most of any state. No state income tax. Our backyard is growing faster than anywhere else, and our distribution advantage starts at home.

Business Model

RaaS unit economics that actually work.

Every unit we deploy pays back its hardware cost in under 60 days and produces $25,800/year of gross profit for the next five years minimum.

Monthly RaaS

Per-unit all-inclusive pricing. No hardware cost to customer.

Competitive Landscape

The market has a ceiling player and a floor.
We are neither.

Knightscope proved the market exists and that the enterprise-first, capital-heavy approach does not work. $11.6M revenue, losing $30M/yr, stock at $3.89. We are building the capital-efficient opposite.

Base case ramp. Monthly cash-flow breakeven at month 17. $2.1M ARR at exit of Year 3 with 86% gross margin.

Traction & Roadmap

Selling a ramp, not a vision.

Every milestone is tied to a specific hire, production run, and sales motion. Breakeven at month 17 means this $2M is the last dilutive dollar needed unless we choose to raise a Series A to accelerate.

Team

Operators, not theorists.

This team has already shipped the robot. Solomon and I built Guardian from bare metal in under a year, deployed it to a paying customer, and produced the operating data on this page.
