AI Startup Opdo Secures $2.3Mn to Transform Optical Engineering

The company will use the new funding to develop its technology and make optical engineering faster and easier by automating the process from product design to manufacturing.

Based in Los Angeles and Berlin, Opdo is developing an AI-powered system that connects product design and testing with real manufacturing data.

Its technology helps engineers improve product designs and make the manufacturing process faster and more efficient.

The company says its system has already reduced the time needed for product development and manufacturing from several months to just a few weeks.

“Every hardware team we talk to has an optics problem waiting in line. The engineers who can solve it are scarce, and the tools were built for a different era,” said Stephan Kuehr, co-founder and CEO of Opdo.

“Optics is one of the last deep engineering disciplines that AI has barely touched, yet it underpins some of the most important technologies being developed today,” said Jerry Dischler, Partner at Angular Ventures.

Opdo was founded by experienced entrepreneurs Stephan Kuehr and Yousef Arzhangnia, who is also the company's CTO. They have experience in manufacturing, optical engineering, AI and automation.
