## About

Based in Texas, US, and founded in 2021, TAU Systems, Inc. provides laser technology that shrinks particle accelerators from miles to meters. The company was founded by its CEO Bjorn Manuel Hegelich. The company offers laser electrons for x-rays which facilitates imaging and analyzing the properties of 3D-printed materials, and also allows new medical diagnoses and treatment at lower radiation doses. Additionally, the firm stimulates space radiation on earth which mitigates its effect on satellites and spacecraft and deciphers the dynamic structure of macromolecules which helps in disease prevention and cures. Furthermore, the firm reduces long-life nuclear waste in a subcritical power plant while producing safe energy. In March 2025, TAU Systems, Inc. raised 12.49 million in seed funding led by Quantonation, with participation from Alumni Ventures Group, Impact Ventures, The University of Texas at Austin, and Team Global. Other unspecified investors also participated in the round. The company plans to use the March 2025 funding to construction of laser-plasma accelerator facility and support of research programs in radiation testing, semiconductor metrology, biomedical imaging, and materials testing.
