Jonathan Jaglom CEO Flō Optics (Instagram)
In a revolutionary leap for optical technology, Israeli startup Flō Optics has secured a staggering $35 million in a Series A funding round, propelling its revolutionary digital printing solution for coating optical lenses into the spotlight.
Leading the charge is the renowned Jaglom family, known for backing cutting-edge innovations in the field, including their past investments in Stratasys. Until now, Flō Optics had only raised a modest sum in its Seed round, making this latest influx of capital a game-changing milestone.
Among the latest investors is the Italian powerhouse MEI Systems, a global leader in lens-edging machines and industry solutions, which will now hold a minority stake in Flō Optics. With this formidable backing, the company is poised to redefine the future of optical lens manufacturing, fusing precision, efficiency, and digital innovation like never before.
