Company OverviewEstablished

2 ½ years old, Silicon Valley-based, 60 employees

Experienced, World-Class Technical TalentShipped four generations of optical MEMS-based products.

Well Funded, Venture-Backed Private CompanyWe closed a large Series B during Optical Nuclear Winter.

Shipping ProductsWe’ve done it while others with a head start have failed.

Multiple CustomersWe’ve closed real, paying customers.

QuietWe execute in stealth instead of generating hype.
