Itzehoe, Germany, Nov. 4, 2021 <\/strong>– OQmented today announced that it extended its seed round and secured an additional USD 9.3 million. New investors IT-Farm, Leblon Capital, and Deeptech-A join a syndicate that includes Vsquared Ventures (Vsquared), Salvia, and Baltic Business Angels, along with several Angel investors. The deep tech startup has raised nearly US$20 million since its 2018 spin-out from the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.
\nThe funds will be invested in the expansion mainly of the company\u2019s location in Itzehoe, accelerating their Research & Development as well as fostering existing partnerships and establishing cooperations with new partners. They will fast-track market penetration of OQmented\u2019s MEMS mirror-based laser beam scanning (LBS) technology for AR\/VR smart glasses. The tiny projection display\u2014the industry\u2019s first one-chip solution\u2014gives product innovators the essential enabling technology for smart glasses that offer powerful visualization capabilities in a stylish, virtually weightless frame. The product will help propel AR\/VR technologies into the mainstream, smoothing the runway to the next iteration of the internet, and enabling applications like 3D cameras, LiDAR, and machine vision products. <\/p>\n

Salvia Founder and Managing Partner, Helmut Jeggle, noted that with advanced AR\/VR technologies the notion of smart glasses replacing the smartphone is becoming more real. \u201cOQmented is at the forefront of this trend with its game-changing projection display technology,\u201d he said. \u201cOur investment decision was sparked by the team\u2019s sharp market instincts and reinforced by the value that their innovation will create for myriad industries.\u201d
\nVsquared General Partner, Benedikt von Schoeler, remarked on the company\u2019s disciplined execution, noting: \u201cThe team has been remarkably resource-efficient, innovating aggressively while scaling a company to support Big Tech customers. With a differentiated solution ready for adoption, as well as a manufacturing partnership with a MEMS leader, it is an exciting time to engage.\u201d
\nJulian Nguyen of IT-Farm adds: \u201cProximity to key customers isn\u2019t just a business imperative for a company with highly enabling technology, it\u2019s also a competitive differentiator. With our roots and connections in Japan and Silicon Valley, we can help the team get their product into customer design flows faster and more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n
