Invisible-Light Labs announced the successful closing of its pre-seed funding round, marking an important milestone in the company’s transition from scientific research to commercial development.
The round was backed by XISTA Science Ventures, aws Gründungsfonds, and Fund F. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
Founded by a team with scientific roots, Invisible-Light Labs is focused on bringing its underlying technology to a broader base of users. According to founder and managing director Josiane P. Lafleur, the journey from academic research to building a deep-tech company has required significantly more time, effort, and capital than originally anticipated, but has also proven to be highly rewarding.
The company said the new funding will provide resources to support the next phase of development and help advance its technology toward broader adoption.
Deep-tech startups often face lengthy commercialization cycles and substantial research and development requirements. The latest investment is expected to help Invisible-Light Labs continue navigating the challenges associated with translating scientific innovation into market-ready products.
Lafleur said the company is grateful for the support of its investors and excited to continue its entrepreneurial journey with partners that share its vision.
