Glass Imaging raises $20M for AI imaging

Glass Imaging, which uses AI to improve digital image quality, announced a Series A fundraising round headed by global software investor Insight Partners. Glass Imaging will use the $20 million to enhance and integrate their GlassAI technology on smartphones, drones, wearables, and more. Former Glass Imaging investors GV, Future Ventures, and Abstract Ventures joined the Series A round.

Glass Imaging reverses lens aberrations and sensor defects with AI to maximize image quality on existing and future cameras. Glass partners with manufacturers to integrate GlassAI software to increase camera performance 10x, resulting in crisper, more detailed photos in real-life circumstances without hallucinations or optical distortions.

“At Glass Imaging we are building the future of imaging technology,” said CEO and founder Ziv Attar. “GlassAI can maximize all cameras’ detail and sharpness. The use cases and prospects across industries are vast.”

“GlassAI leverages edge AI to transform Raw burst image data from any camera into stunning, high-fidelity visuals,” said Glass Imaging founder and CTO Tom Bishop, Ph.D. “Our advanced image restoration networks go beyond what is possible on other solutions: swiftly correcting optical aberrations and sensor imperfections while efficiently reducing noise, delivering fine texture and real image content recovery that outperforms traditional ISP pipelines.”

“We’re proud to lead Glass Imaging’s Series A round and look forward to what the team will build next to redefine digital image quality,” said Insight Partners Managing Director Praveen Akkiraju. “The GlassAI integration ceiling is huge across platforms and use cases. We’re delighted to see this technology improve cameras and image devices.” Glass Imaging’s board will include Akkiraju and Insight’s Jonah Waldman as an observer.

In 2024, Glass Imaging raised $9.3M in extended seed funding from GV, Future Ventures, Abstract, and LDV Capital. That fundraising round follows LDV Capital and GroundUP Ventures’ 2021 Seed investment.
