About this raise

Circle Optics, with a valuation of $20 million, is raising funds on Wefunder. The company has developed the world’s first seamless and stitch-free panoramic multi-camera system. The 360 degrees camera system of Circle Optics works by aligning fields of view rather than overlapping them and creates images without any distortion and perspective errors. Circle Optics’ technology has received $3.7 million in contracts with NASA, Space Force, Air Force, and NSF and aims to improve aircraft navigation and prevent collisions. Zak Niazi founded Circle Optics in December 2017. The current crowdfunding campaign has a minimum target of $150,000 and a maximum target of $1 million. The campaign proceeds will be used for hiring engineers and sales and development employees, prototyping expenses, and marketing.
