What is a streak camera?
An expensive laboratory instrument
that allows scientists and engineers to
capture and analyze optical events at
high resolution that happen within
fractions of a second.
The ultimate slow-motion camera, able
to capture color or intensity changes in
light moving through space in mere
nanoseconds, picoseconds, and
femtoseconds¹.
Used for high energy density physics,
fusion energy, and weapons research.
¹ A femtosecond is to a second the same as one minute
is to the lifetime of the universe back to the big bang.

The Problem
There are 4 big problems with the streak
cameras currently on the market:
They aren't easy to use.
They can't increase their resolution
without decreasing dynamic range.
They are to slow.
They are poorly cooled.

Our Solution
Increase speed to achieve a temporal
resolution of 100 femtoseconds in a 90ps
sweep and <15ps Jitter (a new class of
streak camera).
Usability advancements (Indexed Multiple
Slit Slider and Master Trigger)
Cost Advancements (uncooled sensor)
Performance Advancements (coupling the
sCMOS Sensor directly to the image
intensifying MCP using a tapered fiber
bundle)
Thermal Management (relocation of
electrical components).

Market Validation
Siegfried Glenzer
High Energy Density Division Director at Stanford's SLAC National Accelerator Lab
While conducting "demo days," TitanLabs
administered a survey to a focus group of
some of the world's most renown high-energy
density physicists, including Siegfried Glenzer,
Ronnie Shepherd, and Roger Falcone.
90% stated that streak cameras need more
options and functionality.
90% said that the cost of streak cameras is
too high.
60% said they are to slow.

Market Size
The value of all of the streak cameras produced
globally in 2018 is expected to be $106.3 million.
Just 5 companies control 69% of the total worldwide
market for streak cameras.
On average, each of these companies generates $15
million in revenue with about a 40% profit margin.
The comb generator market is dominated by Sydor,
who has a monopoly.
Key customer segments in the US include 17 DOE
National Laboratories and 47 User Facilities plus
Universities and Regionally funded Labs.
In Europe there is The European Organization for
Nuclear Research CERN with 22 member countries
and hundreds of facilities including the LHC.
7. Our Business Model
6 of 12
Slide
Titan Labs earns revenue primarily through
the direct sale of its line of streak cameras
and comb generators.
41% of revenue from Perseus streak
cameras
37% from Atlas streak cameras
21% from Hyperion comb generators
Profit margins ranging from 30-45% during
first three years of production.
8. Competition

Slide
Because the target market for Titan Labs has
so few potential customers, we are able to
deploy a very tactical and direct marketing
approach.
Direct mail
Email marketing
Event marketing
Inbound marketing tactics will also be used,
including
Blogging and content marketing
SEO and pay-per-click advertising
A lead-generating website
