Airy3D Raises $4 Million

Technology startup Airy3D completed $4 million in seed financing. Six investors contributed to the round, among them CRCM, R7 Partners, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, Nautilus Venture Partners, and Tandem.

Founded in 2015 and based in Montreal, Canada, Airy3D has developed the world’s first passive single sensor solution for 3D computer vision. The device is based on off-the-shelf components enhanced by technology first invented at Cornell University.

In its announcement, the company said the financing will allow Airy3D to prove out manufacturability with its top-tier camera sensor partner. Airy3D and its partner are building the world’s first commercial quality 3D sensors that combine Airy3D’s patented transmissive diffraction mask platform with state-of-the-art, off-the-shelf camera sensors.
