## About

Based in Bristol, UK, Zero Point Motion uses optical sensing techniques called 'cavity optomechanics’ for chip sensors to improve navigation and stabilization. In March 2022, Zero Point Motion raised GBP 2.58 million in seed funding led by Foresight Williams Technology, with participation from u-blox Holding AG and Verve Ventures. As of February 2020, the company is led by its CEO Ying Lia Li. The company uses optical sensing techniques from the research area known as ‘cavity optomechanics’ in the chip architecture of sensors within smartphones, cars, and game controllers. This results in over 100x improved sensitivity and performance and also reduces positioning error, and enables a longer duration of tracking without global navigation satellite systems. The company plans to use the seed funding towards building a better lab in Bristol and hire more employees to accelerate the R&D of its photonic inertial sensor chips. In March 2025, Zero Point Motion Ltd. raised GBP 4 million in pre-series A funding led by Science Creates Ventures, with participation from Foresight Group Holdings, u-blox Holding AG, and Verve Ventures.

The company plans to utilize the March 2025 funding scale operations and expand the team.
