PxE Holographic Imaging, an Israeli startup developing holographic imaging cameras, came out of stealth mode with a $5.4 million raise in a Seed funding round led by KDT – Koch Disruptive Technologies, the technology investment arm of Koch Industries, and M Ventures, the venture investment arm of the science and technology company Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
PxE Holographic Imaging was established in 2019 by seasoned tech innovator CEO Yoav Berlatzky and CTO Yanir Hainick, a graduate of the prestigious “Talpiot” program, an elite military-academic technology unit from Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Founded in 1979, Talpiot works to bridge the gap between groundbreaking R&D and operational capabilities. Yoav Berlatzky, PhD, held engineering and managerial positions at Applied Materials and Nova. Yanir Hainick, MSc, held management and leadership roles at Nova and an elite IDF technological unit.
Every year, Talpiot recruits 50 talented students who demonstrate exceptional skills in math and science, and who also show leadership qualities. As of 2013, about 10% of the unit’s total of 850 graduates received some of Israel’s most prestigious security awards including the Israel Defense Award, Air Force Commander’s Award, Head of the Military Intelligence Award and the Head of DDR&D Award.

PxE Holographic Imaging has developed a full-stack perception solution the company calls a ground-breaking combination of HW and SW that is deployable to any platform. It consists of a HoloCoder-enabled camera that sees more information (RGB-IR-Depth) coupled to PxE’s lighting-fast algo for building an accurate model of the world.
“We are very happy that we were able to team up with great investors like KDT and M Ventures on our journey to reinvent digital imaging and sensing,” said Berlatzky. “The current round allows us to accelerate our current efforts and partner with more customers to integrate the enhanced capabilities of PxE cameras into their products.”
