Optical tech platform Coloursmith closes $600k pre-seed round
Coloursmith Labs, a Halifax-based provider of optical filter technology, has secured $600,000 in a pre-seed financing. The round was backed several investors, including Brigus Capital, Island Capital Partners and the venture capital fund of Killick Capital. Brigus President Wade Dawe will join the board. Founded last year by CEO Gabrielle Masone, Coloursmith develops lens-enhancing filters for contact lenses to address vision challenges. Its early-stage product pipeline includes optical filters to enhance colour vision and protect eyes from harmful blue light. Coloursmith will use the funds raised to further advance its technology and hire additional staff.
