TigerByte Cyber Rebrands WebSensing Hardware for $3M Seed Round Backed by $7M DoD Contracts

TigerByte is the rebranded continuation of WebSensing's single-chip security line, already under contract with three US defense agencies. Funding accelerates edge hardening for aircraft and drones using DARPA-derived post-quantum and parsing tech. Independent contract data precedes the public launch and reveals operational intent beyond marketing claims.

Next phase involves scaling US manufacturing and expanding to commercial aviation and satellite constellations. Follow-on funding rounds or additional SBIR awards will test whether the hardware-enforced model scales beyond initial government testbeds within 24 months.

⚡ Prediction

TigerByte: Wins at least one additional $5M+ production contract from Space Force or Navy by Q4 2025.
