[Vishal Kumar 🇬🇧 @vishalkumar]

📸 Happy to finally announce the closure of our $2m seed round to accelerate the launch of our AI-powered assistive camera of the future.

Backed by @betaworks, F4 Fund and @NextWaveNYC via @flybridge, @7pcventures and @DigiCatapult we’re redefining the future of cameras and content creation.

✅ We’re integrating a large language model (LLM) directly into an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera for the first time ever.

✅ We’re entering a new phase in our journey under the name Camera Intelligence (@camera_int) - with a brand that better reflects our direction of travel.

Why does this all matter?

Producing engaging, high-quality content is necessary for creators and small businesses. But content tools are fragmented with steep learning curves.

We want to help creators and businesses go from idea → execution faster than ever: no fuss - just smart, assistive content production in their hands.

We've been working hard behind the scenes to deliver a radical new interface that allows users to control camera functions through voice commands.

Being on the AI native camp at @betaworks in NYC was hugely influential for our ability to develop and deploy our LLM-driven technology - thanks to @Borthwick, @jordanrcrook, @nicole_ripka and the team.

Huge thanks to all of our other investors who believed in our renewed vision Digital Catapult (@SusanBowenUK) and 7percent Ventures (@andrewjscott), and members from the NYC ecosystem (@andruyeung, @thesephist).

🎥 We will be sharing a demo video tomorrow so that you can see what we’re building in action…we can’t wait to share more!

I also can’t wait to tell you about a few incredible team members we're recently hired to realise this vision, and thanks to all of our customers for their patience and support.

We're only getting started...
