"From a venture investor perspective, there are 5 defining characteristics of the HardTech startups that we like to invest in:
‍

• They contain Hardcore science/engineering
• They involve Hardware – in addition to software
• They're Hard to do
• If done right, they're Hard to copy
• The 'venture-able' ones are Hard to find

General Radar definitely fits that bill."
