We are very pleased to announce the closing of our US$6.6M seed investment round. Voyager Ventures and TOMORROW (part of Visionaries Club) led the round, with participation from Climate Club. SirenOpt’s investors also include Union Labs Ventures, Skydeck Fund (the investment team from Berkeley SkyDeck) Wireframe Ventures, Impact Science Ventures, Access Industries, Courtyard Ventures, and Climate Capital. SirenOpt will use this new investment to accelerate product development, deliver commercial products to market, scale up commercial operations, and grow our team to support those objectives. SirenOpt’s non-destructive, real-time manufacturing intelligence platform improves factory efficiency for semiconductors, batteries, turbine blades and many other technologies essential to the green transition. Our ability to deliver real-time insights using cold atmospheric plasma and machine learning technologies was first developed by our co-founders Jared O'Leary, Ali Mesbah and Joel Paulson at the Mesbah Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. We are also supported by the startup accelerator programs run by Activate, Berkeley SkyDeck and Cyclotron Road (the latter part of the Berkeley Lab). Our platform will transform materials manufacturing for advanced coatings, thin film materials and nano-scale materials by shedding new light on blind spots, reducing waste, and improving factory ROI. For all the details including statements by SirenOpt CEO Jared O'Leary, Sarah Sclarsic, Founding Partner of Voyager Ventures, and Sebastian Pollok, Founding Partner of TOMORROW, please see the full announcement on our recently updated website: https://lnkd.in/gh_cqji3 You can also read more about SirenOpt on Axios: https://lnkd.in/gB47Fd4K Thanks to our investors for believing in us, and thanks as well to all the customers and collaborators who helped us get to this point.
