Raise
For investors
Building the security hardware supply chain, locally.
Sectech designs, develops and will manufacture security devices in Lebanon — for the problems our market has that no one else is solving, and on terms the buyer can trust.
Confidential — prepared for investor review. Not for distribution.
Thesis
Security hardware is bought globally and used locally, and the market has just learned how expensive that gap can be. A hijacked update server, a backdoored camera, a vendor who can deactivate your device — the failure modes are now public knowledge, and buyers in our market have responded by hesitating.
That hesitation is the opportunity. The devices our market genuinely needs are not on any global vendor's roadmap — partly because the market is small, partly because the needs are local. Someone has to build them here. Sectech does, and because we build here, we also own the firmware, the updates and the after-sales relationship that the market currently lacks.
Our ambition is a full local supply chain: software first on off-the-shelf hardware, then hardware we design ourselves, then hardware we manufacture locally — with a commitment to maintain, patch and upgrade everything we ship.
The problem
- Supply-chain attacks have frozen adoption. Buyers want the capability and do not trust the delivery mechanism, so projects stall at procurement. The market is not short of technology; it is short of trusted suppliers.
- Critical needs go unmet. A meaningful part of what this market needs is simply not served by any worldwide vendor. Those products can only be developed locally.
- Nobody owns the long tail. Once a device is sold, support, patching and repair usually evaporate — and there is no local party accountable for the device's tenth year.
Why now
- Supply-chain exploit disclosure has moved from niche engineering concern to procurement gate. Security preference is becoming a funded requirement with a deadline.
- Open-weight AI and cheap embedded compute have made local, offline intelligence practical on commodity hardware — a NVR that needs no GPU and no cloud is now buildable.
- Data sovereignty moved from a policy document to a purchase criterion. Buyers are actively asking where the firmware comes from.
- Local manufacturing economics have improved: contract electronics, local assembly and short supply lines are now viable for a company at our stage, which was not true a decade ago.
What we have built
MotoLock — a $35 motorcycle alarm. LoRa radio plus a vibration-classification sensor, shipped with its gateway, with GPS, 4G, Bluetooth, fork-strain and stand-sensor modules on a common bus. Competes on range, false-alarm rate and price against cellular trackers that cost $5 per month.
SectechNVR — self-hosted AI video security. Licence-plate recognition, intrusion detection, footage search and a camera agent, running on the customer's own hardware, offline, with no per-camera subscription. Built on the open-source OpenNVR platform, which we harden, integrate and support locally.
Together they establish the pattern the company is built on: a capability that the market needs and nobody serves, delivered on hardware the customer owns, with support that answers locally.
Business model
- Hardware margin on every unit sold — one-time purchase, no per-camera or per-device licence fee.
- Recurring revenue from support, SLA and firmware maintenance contracts on the installed base.
- Margin on add-on modules and accessories — the expansion path inside an installed product.
- Later: recurring revenue from local manufacturing, integration and after-sales services across the product catalogue.
The manufacturing roadmap
- Now — software and firmware developed in-house on off-the-shelf components. Products ship; revenue starts; customer feedback drives the next revision.
- Next — custom hardware design: our own boards, enclosures and radio stack, specified and drawn locally, manufactured by a contracted partner.
- Later — local assembly and manufacture, shortening supply lines and moving gross margin in-house.
- Throughout — published support windows and security-update commitments for every product line, so the installed base grows in value rather than decays.
Competitive position
- Global vendors cannot service a market this small and will not localise firmware, support or manufacturing for it.
- Assembled open-source and imported white-label hardware are functionally comparable — but carry no local engineering, no firmware accountability and no support after the sale.
- Our moat is not the code. It is the hardware we design, the firmware we can patch and sign ourselves, the local support organisation, and the manufacturing capability we are building towards.
- Switching cost is deliberate: add-on modules, the mesh roadmap and the installed support relationship all deepen over the product's life.

Target close
Use of funds
- Hardware engineering — custom board design, tooling and certification for the first designed product.
- Software and firmware team — including the manufacturing and quality systems that make local production possible.
- Pilot deployments — reference sites across the moto-lock and NVR product lines.
- Working capital for the first production cycle and local assembly setup.
Talk to us
The full data room — model, pipeline, capex plan for local manufacturing, and the underlying product documentation — is available directly. We would rather have a serious conversation than a form submission.
Confidentiality and a data-room access agreement can be arranged before the call.
