About

Circle Optics has developed a patented optical technology that provides real-time, 360° situational awareness without the distortion or latency of traditional panoramic cameras. Our technology has been validated through over $15 million in non-dilutive R&D contracts from government and DoD customers. We are currently raising a $15 million Series A round to scale production of our Pegasus camera system, which is designed to address the urgent need for high-performance optical sensors in the $15 billion C-UAS market. We believe our dual-use strategy and robust IP portfolio make us a strong investment opportunity.
