Bill Gates invests in commercializing radar from EchodyneDeveloper Echodyne, a compact radar radar company, has raised $135 million in an investment round C. Bill Gates and private equity partnership Baillie Gifford are the key investors.
Now the manufacturer, which has created a complete radar radar the size of a book (compared to existing bulky radars on the market), intends to go beyond government contracts and create a product that will be useful in the marketplace for everyone. For example, to protect against unnecessary attention from drones.
