Big Tech is driving consumer demand.
Optaric is delivering for the enterprise.
Meta, Google, Apple, Samsung are bringing smart glasses to the consumer market - building awareness and expectations. Enterprise buyers are paying attention. But these devices are not designed for use in enterprise.
Consumer: Not rugged
Consumer devices aren't built for full-shift industrial wear, drop environments, or temperature extremes.
Consumer: Not certified
No ANSI Z87.1 / EN safety rating. Cannot be used as PPE. Cannot enter regulated worksites.
Consumer: Not IT-compatible
Data routes through consumer clouds. No MDM support. No enterprise security posture. Every CISO says no.
Consumer: Not shareable
Optical prescription is personalized per user. The moment a device is shared across a shift, the product breaks.

How It Works
  • Glasses are secure thin clients - display, camera, and input only. No apps and no data on the device.
  • Leverages MDM-managed iOS & Android smartphones as the processing layer - zero new security surface
  • One platform governs devices, users, apps, and workflows - including real-time video, remote assist, and AI
  • Open SDK: build once on the smartphone, deploy across all Optaric glasses

MDM-approved by design. Built for enterprise IT. Trusted - no new security surface.
Real Use Cases. Real Customers.

Hands-Free Nuclear Inspection
Site engineers capture inspection data, stream live to remote experts, and generate compliance documentation in real time. No clipboard, no handheld camera, no data leaves the site network.
Global engineering services firm, USA & UK
Remote Clinical Pre-Support
Paramedics stream patient assessments to a specialist physician on route to hospital, who guides interventions in real time. The A&E team receives critical information before arrival.
UK healthcare service
Heavy Equipment Inspection
Technicians complete digital inspections hands-free while AI fills fields, flags anomalies, and checks nothing is missed. Reports and compliance evidence are captured automatically at the source.
Heavy equipment dealer, UK
Automotive Support
Technician hits a diagnostic dead-end and pulls in manufacturer support live from the bay. Remote specialist sees what the technician sees, guides the repair step-by-step, and signs off completion. No second visit. No vehicle off the road overnight.
Car manufacturer, Germany
These are not pilots. These are production environment with named owners and stated unit volumes.

The Ask
$5M SAFE • $15M Post-money cap
$2.7M Committed.
Round structure
  • SAFE note at a $15M post-money valuation cap.
  • $2.7M committed
  • Round can expand to $7M for strategic investors at the same terms
  • MFN protection on future SAFE tranches
  • Round closing in Q3 2026

Why This Round Works
Consumer giants are building category awareness at scale. Android XR is arriving with the wrong architecture. The enterprise window is open and it will not stay open.
The team that built the two largest industrial smart glasses deployments in history is in the building. Significant investment already secured. The pipeline is named and real.
We are not entering a category. We are reclaiming one we built.
