Morrow Optics

Angel Round in 2022
Our view is a world where nothing is missed and one pair does it all. Because there’s more to see than ever before, and you deserve to see the bigger picture without edges or limitations. Our story starts with Jelle De Smet and Paul Marchal, two pioneers who with combined experience in electronics and nanotechnology invented the Autofocal lens. They saw a better way, where ageing eyesight is no longer a burden and progressive lenses were a prequel. And so Morrow was founded in 2016 — followed by years of research, development and meticulous fine-tuning. We now launch our flagship Autofocal Eyewear that combines Active Liquid Crystal and a two-layer corrective lens to transform your vision — both near and far — at the touch of a button. In our eyes, independence is a state of mind. It’s the unshackled freedom to do what you want and on your own terms, whilst always improving. Discover why there is always mor’ to see.

Predict.io

Seed Round in 2014
It is hard to engage app users. Timing is everything. Sending a push in the wrong moment gets you uninstalled. Using smartphone sensors to understand user context is difficult. The company gives developers an SDK that provides user context. The SDK is installed within minutes. It only consumes 0.2% battery per hour. It shows higher accuracy than OS embedded Activity APIs. And it works across platforms iOS, Android, Phonegap. Once activated predict.io constantly reads the sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, etc.). The data is pre-processed directly on the device. When a pattern is recognized predict.io fires a "callback"​. The developer can trigger any activity within our outside of his app based on our "callback"​. Once activated we constantly read the sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, etc.). We pre-process the data directly on the device. When a pattern is recognized we fire a "callback". The developer can trigger any activity within our outside of his app based on our "callback".
