## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2007 as eChromics. In October of the same year, eChromics was renamed Soladigm and now operates as View, Inc., is a nanotechnology company that develops and manufactures smart glass solutions for buildings to improve employee wellness and simultaneously reduce energy consumption. In November 2020, the company agreed to merge with CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II, a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company), for USD 1.6 billion. In January 2021, View, Inc. raised USD 200 million in PIPE Funding led by GIC. The round was part of a larger USD 500 million in equity financing. View, Inc. offers AI (artificial intelligence)-based smart glass windows that combine machine learning and EC (electrochromic) technology to change the View Smart Windows' properties based on ambient, temperature, and light. The product's environmental sensor modules and transparent displays optimize natural light while controlling solar heat and glare that reduces the enterprise's overall heating, ventilation, and air conditioning energy consumption. The company also offers a software-based glass-break monitoring system that notifies clients about the breakage details for better replacement coordination. The company's revenue is generated by business-to-business transactions for the installation of View Smart Windows and subscription to the cloud-based View Protect monitoring software of real estate properties. The company also partners with architects to design customized windows for clients.
