Emteq Labs

About the offering

Our patented sensor platform is the first to turn smart glasses into behavior-sensing devices by capturing thousands of subtle facial muscle movements in real time. This unlocks applications in health and wellbeing, medical research, consumer sentiment, and AR/VR/XR. Our platform can even provide behavioral nudges in response to real-time data. OPPORTUNITY Wearables Are a $84B Market.(1) XR Could Exceed $3 Trillion.(2) Wearables are already a massive $84B market, and smart glasses are the fastest-growing category, expanding 200% each year. But this is just the beginning. Most wearables track motion, heart rate, or sleep, but they can’t tell users why they feel or behave a certain way. Emteq holds the patents for the sensing tech that smart glasses need to deliver real value. As the giants race to dominate the platform, we control a key piece they don’t have. Smart glasses are going to replace smartphones the same way smartphones replaced computers” - Mark Zuckerberg Meta is scaling production of smart glasses to 10 million units per year, Experts project the XR market will reach $3 trillion in the coming years, Apple and Google are building XR products, including smart glasses INNOVATION The First Tech to Measure All-Day Facial Expressions—And Change Behavior Our patented sensor platform is the first to turn smart glasses into behavior-sensing devices by capturing thousands of subtle facial muscle movements in real time. This unlocks applications in health and wellbeing, medical research, consumer sentiment, and AR/VR/XR. 35 Patents (27 granted), 36 Peer-reviewed publications confirming sensor accuracy and expression analysis, used by neuroscience researchers to study facial responses and emotions in real-world settings. Collaboration with top universities like Stanford, Northeastern, and Cambridge BUSINESS MODEL 3 Revenue Streams: Research. Products. Licensing. Emteq generates revenue through a three-tier model designed for long-term growth. We advance our core technology through paid research services. We validate in market by launching targeted consumer products. And we scale by licensing our technology. We’re already seeing traction in each category. Research & Services: R&D partnership with one of the world’s top gaming companies. Research partnerships with leading international universities and labs, including Stanford, Northeastern, and Cambridge University. Global distribution deal with Brain Products, a leading neuroscience technology provider. Products: Our first diet product shows 91% of users improved their eating behavior. Our partnership with Sussex University and early validation on depression opens the door to the $14B mood monitoring market. In October we start development of a platform for autism emotion and social interaction training with leading expert Prof. Sir Simon Baron-Cohen. Licensing: 27 patents issued with broad coverage of optical flow sensing for facial expressions in eyewear. Passed technical review and now in contract negotiations with one of the biggest players in XR. In technical review with one of the world’s largest consumer electronics companies. PRODUCTS The First Wearable That Measures How You Eat and Automatically Logs Food Our first consumer product–Sense Eyewear–targets diet because it’s a huge problem, our tech fits into lightweight eyewear, and the $274B market is wide open. Poor diet is the world’s top health risk, but current wearables can't reliably collect the most basic data: what we eat and how we eat it. 28, Tracks 28 diet metrics like chewing speed and distracted eating through 2.8M data points 91% of users slowed eating, which is linked to better weight and gut health 12x, Logs meals 12x easier than phones The First Wearable That Tracks How You Feel 1 in 5 people live with a mental health disorder, but we still rely on occasional check-ins and self-reported surveys. Our smart glasses will change that: Passively track emotional responses throughout the day, Automatically tag mood to people, places, and activities, Spot patterns in what improves—or worsens— mental states Other factors influencing diet and weight don’t vary across the day, such as metabolism, sleep, age, genetics, and medical conditions. Watches, rings, and phones use indirect measures to try to measure stress and other emotions (HR, HRV, sweat response, phone activity, voice, surveys, etc.). Roadmap The Road to Category Leadership in Wearable Health Built to lead in Health, Wearables, and XR. With the funds from this raise, we will pursue critical milestones in our three revenue categories: Launch smart glasses + behavior change platform in the consumer market, Launch product partnerships in diet and wellness, Expand recurring revenue from research services, Expand clinical studies to support additional health use cases, Launch sensor miniaturization development program, Advance early licensing & development deals EXIT POTENTIAL How Breakthrough Innovations Power Big Tech Many of today’s breakthrough technologies began with startups like ours. When major tech companies need new capabilities such as facial data, emotion tracking, or input interfaces, they first look to acquire the innovators who have already built them versus taking the longer path of developing the solutions in-house. Lesser-known companies are often acquired for a specific technology or function that larger companies want to incorporate into their product. HOW IT WORKS From Facial Movement to Measurable Change Emteq’s patented optical flow sensors fit into any smart eyewear and measure subtle facial muscle movements with extreme precision, unlocking insight into diet, emotion, and behavior. Sensing: Tiny sensors embed in glasses frames to track subtle facial muscle movements. Interpretation: Data is processed by our AI for patterns like chewing speed, emotional state, or distracted behavior. Response: The system delivers in-the-moment nudges – like a gentle buzz to slow down eating – designed to reinforce healthier lifestyles. Insight: Our AI processes millions of data points each day to deliver unique insights based on your personal goals. TEAM Deep Expertise in Eyewear, Emotion, and AI/ML Our leadership brings together deep technical expertise and real-world product experience – from academic research labs to consumer hardware giants.
