Lighthouse Tech Closes Seed Funding Round

Lighthouse Tech’s flagship product, the LTH01 smart glasses frame, combines advanced sensors and real-time feedback to improve personal mobility and safety, allowing users with visual disabilities to navigate their environment with greater confidence and independence. The eyewear frame locates obstacles in the upper-body zone, an area left unprotected by the traditional white cane. Sensors and electronics are incorporated modularly in eyewear temples allowing users to select from a collection of six different styles in a choice of colours and two sizes to fit all faces. The start-up places great importance on the sustainability of the materials used, the aesthetics, and the comfort of use, aiming to offer a beautiful product that can be worn continuously every day and that helps users avoid stigma often attached to use of bulky, unsightly medical and assistive devices. The LTH01 modular series is ready to be incorporated into fashion eyewear collections. 

“As we proceed with the industrialization of our first product, we remain dedicated to advancing in the field of assistive technology and improving the quality of life for people with visual disabilities. This funding round is not just a financial milestone but a testament to the collective confidence in our vision and potential”, commented Andrea Moroni Stampa, CTO Lighthouse Tech. KAPSLY Ventures acted as lead investor and managed an investment syndicate, acting as a lead for their and Lighthouse’s direct investors.

In a statement the startup thanked several supporters including Venture Kick/Venturelab, USI Startup Center, Fondazione Agire and AITI UP!, Innosuisse and Switzerland Global Enterprise.
