Today, @AustinSeningCo is excited to announce our $11 million seed round, bringing our total funding to $15 million. The round was led by Bow Capital, with participation from Bling Capital, Draper Associates, mark vc, GTMfund, Ensemble VC, and others.
Austin Sensing Company exists to build the worldâs best sensors and sensor fusion. Weâre a manufacturing-first company that measures success by the number of systems deployed in critical areas across the globe. We design for performance, low cost, and high-volume production, with systems as simple to use as your phone and easy to integrate into our customersâ vehicles, platforms, and networks.
Since launching this summer, weâve deployed our systems with more than 40 police departments, fire departments, military units, universities, and professional sports teams. Theyâve been deployed at wildfires, around airports, and with the U.S. military.
In addition to our funding news, we recently moved into a 20,000-square-foot factory in Austin, Texas, where weâll develop, test, and manufacture our radar, RF, and acoustic sensors. Next year, weâll begin high-volume production of our radar and acoustic systems, including critical components manufactured in-house.
If you want to work on extremely hard problems with exceptional people, weâre hiring across all parts of the business, including engineering, manufacturing, sales, and operations at our factory in Austin. Apply on our website or shoot me a note: [email protected].

My obit on former Speaker Hastert done for Bloomberg, prior to moving to Newsday.... âEventually, you get enough barnacles, and you sink,â National Journal quoted Hastert as saying in a 2014 interview. At that time, he might not have realized how far.
