A decade of research at Princeton University has resulted in a startup developing imaging sensors with capabilities beyond traditional cameras. Cephia launched on Oct. 30 with $4 million in seed funding and pilot customers already testing products that promise vision capabilities beyond human perception.
The San Francisco-based company builds imaging sensors using artificial intelligence, computational imaging, and silicon metamaterials. Radiant Opto-Electronics Corporation led the round, with Incharge Capital, a deeptech investor backed by Porsche SE and Deutsche Telekom, co-leading. MetaVC Partners, NRM Partners, and SOSV also participated in the round, the Cephia said.
