## About

Based in Switzerland, AlphaLum SA specializes in advanced optical technologies, focusing on the development of innovative augmented reality displays and optical sensors for various applications across multiple industries.Founded in 2025, AlphaLum SA is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, developing state-of-the-art optical solutions. The company has secured its first deal in January 2026, raising CHF 3.4 million in SEED funding led by Vsquared Ventures, with participation from Fluxunit, which will support its growth as a technology supplier for smart glasses and spatial-computing products.AlphaLum specializes in the development of highly efficient augmented reality (AR) displays and advanced optical sensors, leveraging over 20 years of research and development. Their core product offerings include holographic-optic combiners and ultra-low-power Self-Mixing Interferometry (SMI) sensors, designed for all-day wearable AR applications and intelligent systems. The holographic-optic combiners utilize Volume Phase Holograms (VPH) as optical building blocks, enabling a range of transparent display solutions that cater to industries such as robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics. The SMI technology encodes motion and distance directly into the laser signal, providing enhanced capabilities for applications like eye-motion tracking and 4D motion sensing. AlphaLum’s products are marketed globally, with a focus on key regions that include North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, serving a diverse client base that includes technology manufacturers, automotive companies, and robotics firms.AlphaLum's revenue model is centered around B2B transactions, primarily through partnerships and direct sales to manufacturers in various industries. Their flagship products, including the AR displays and SMI sensors, are available under a structured pricing plan tailored to meet the needs of their clients, which typically involves bulk purchasing agreements for mass production. The company establishes long-term relationships with tier-one manufacturers, facilitating the integration of their technologies into larger systems. These transactions are often concluded with contracts that stipulate product delivery timelines and performance specifications, ensuring that clients receive high-quality optical solutions scalable for commercial deployment. The emphasis on rapid prototyping through their in-house pilot line further supports efficient transaction cycles, allowing for prompt adaptation to market demands. AlphaLum plans to leverage the CHF 3.4 million raised in SEED funding from Vsquared Ventures and Fluxunit to scale its optics and sensing platform. The company is set to transition from research and development into a full-fledged technology supplier for smart glasses and spatial-computing products. Upcoming product launches are anticipated in the near future, targeting the expansion into North American and European markets by the end of 2026.
