## About

Based in Nevada, US, and founded in 2019 by CEO Greg Kress, Imagia, Inc. operates as a manufacturing company providing optical lenses based on metamaterial technology to focus on reducing optical system volume in a variety of applications including lightweight, augmented reality (AR) glasses and holographic displays. In April 2023, Imagia, Inc. raised USD 4.5 million in seed funding led by Gates Frontier, with participation from MetaVC Partners.

Imagia, Inc. designs and produce lenses based on metamaterial principles, which have noncontinuous optical functions and that combine functions of simple lenses in a single lens. The company provides a lens that is constructed directly onto waveguide substrates that reduces the lower part count and higher yield. In addition, the firm’s lens is made of nanoimprint fabrication methods and CMOS-compatible materials.

The company plans to use the funding from April 2023 to accelerate the development and initial commercial deployment of its silicon-based optical lenses.
