 Gunshot detection software provider ShotSpotter files for a $35 million IPO

It would be interesting to see how much Motorola invested in them

Paul, thanks for sharing.

Here is ShotSpotter's S1 and an overview of their financials:

They are losing quite a lot of money but it's a subscription service so goal is to scale up into ongoing longterm profits.

Crunchbase lists nearly $70 million raised in the past 13 years:

As of March 31, 2017, they report $2.4 million cash on hand, and given that they continue to burn a few million in cash from operations annually, they need a new infusion.

We'll queue up a full report. Thanks for sharing.
