Edgehog

Seed Round in 2021
Edgehog develops anti-reflection technology for electronic displays. It has identified a scalable approach to fabricate bio-inspired nanostructures directly on native glass or plastic substrates to achieve uniform anti-reflectivity across the visible spectrum, eliminating glare in diverse environments. By patterning the substrate, Edgehog delivers low reflectance across the spectrum and improves outdoor readability. The technology targets smartphones and wearables such as smartwatches, reducing the need for high brightness while preserving contrast, which can extend battery life. The company frames its solution as applicable to all electronic displays, aiming to enhance viewing experiences in bright conditions.

ORA Graphene Audio

Seed Round in 2021
ORA is a Montreal-based startup working with advanced nano-materials to produce unparalleled audio experiences. Their team of sound engineers, chemists and material scientists work with the exciting properties of *Graphene* (the strongest and lightest material known to man) to deliver smaller/lighter, more energy efficient speakers, all while remarkably improving sound quality. With a simple drop-in replacement of the speaker’s membrane, GrapheneQ can 1) extend the battery life of a portable audio device by up to 70% b) generate up to 4x the volume and c) significantly reduce the overall size of the speaker, allowing for bigger batteries/thinner devices. ORA's technology is disrupting a technology that has seen little innovation since its invention in 1921: the loudspeaker!

Soundskrit

Seed Round in 2019
Soundskrit is a Montreal-based company that specializes in the development of innovative velocity-based directional microphones designed to enhance audio capture in smart devices. Founded in 2017, the company aims to address the limitations of traditional pressure-based microphones, which pick up sound from all directions and often require multiple units to isolate specific audio sources. Soundskrit's bio-inspired technology measures the velocity of incoming sound, allowing a single microphone to effectively separate and identify sounds from various directions without compromising size or audio quality. This advancement significantly improves speech recognition and sound localization capabilities, enabling a new range of features in consumer electronics, particularly in noisy environments and multi-speaker scenarios.
