Teradar is a Boston-based startup pioneering the use of terahertz technology to launch a new generation of life-saving sensors for automotive, defense, and emerging industries.

We are an MIT Engine company.

Early image of early founders, it's now us plus a larger and terrific team (yes we do use this curve tracer in our work).
