Investor Overview
Invest in Assured Laboratory Intelligence
TKOResearch is a US-based, single-member owned company delivering TARE and HELIX—an assurance platform built to make cyber-physical labs safe, auditable, and operationally mature. Proof-of-concept systems are developed and patent protection is in progress.
We are seeking US funders who align with safety-forward engineering and defensibility. Product development is sustained through high-assurance cybersecurity work, keeping control concentrated while the platform is scaled.
TARE | Digital Lab Assistant
Agentic lab OS that unifies LIMS, safety policy, and operations training. Runs a cryptographically verified multi-tier safety action system to keep AI-controlled laboratory environments deterministic and defensible.
HELIX | Sensor Intelligence Mesh
ESP32-based sensor network using low-cost electrochemical nodes with accuracy and baselines enhanced through proprietary machine learning grounded in reference-grade standards.
Funding Model
Product development is funded through high-assurance cybersecurity engagements to keep ownership concentrated while scaling the platform.
