‘Long Knightscope, Short the Criminals’
“The stock is going to go up, the stock is going to go down. We need to focus on the actual mission, which is better securing the country,” Knightscope chairman and CEO William Santana Li said Wednesday on “Benzinga Live.”Knightscope is a developer of advanced physical security technologies that aim to enhance security operations in the United States.
In order to better secure the U.S., Knightscope will need the whole nation’s focus, Li said, adding that the recent attention on the stock is better than having investors show a lack of interest.
“We have the most cash on hand that we’ve had in the history of the company,” he said. “The stock price doesn’t affect the amount of money in the treasury or the employees, or our clients, or the technology and that’s kind of where me and the entire team are really focused.”
What’s Next
Now that Knightscope has successfully listed on the Nasdaq, Li said the company is focused on its clients. Knightscope plans to continue doing roadshows, raising awareness about the security advancements the company offers.Knightscope is also focused on improving and adding more capabilities to the company’s technology, and it is recruiting in order to grow its team.
“That was the whole premise of the offering: to grow the company. And that’s what we are following through on,” Li emphasized.
