C2Sense today announced it has raised $3.2 million in seed funding led by The Engine. Dream Incubator, Propel(x) Investors, Boston Millennia Partners, Castor Ventures, Newlin Investment Company and TLP also participated.
C2Sense, which was founded in 2014 by experts in sensing technologies from MIT, has created a patented gas-sensing technology that can be designed to detect almost any compound. Through C2Sense’s data platform and service, customers can access information and recommendations quickly and easily. Since the company’s founding, C2Sense’s technology has drawn immediate traction in a variety of applications, from detecting food freshness markers to estimate remaining shelf life and reduce waste to monitoring toxic gases to protect workers.
“C2Sense is the world’s first company to digitalize olfaction,” said Hiroshi Nakano, business producer at Dream Incubator. “We believe their disruptive technology will enable us to sense smells whenever, wherever, and whatever.”
