Elio builds a reconfigurable optical sensor that lets AI shape how it sees: inventing new ways to sense, directing detail where it's needed, and measuring the physical world directly.

Elio raises $21 million in a round led by Innovation Endeavors and Xora to develop sensors that let AI systems determine what information should be captured. Existing investors UpWest and Resolute Ventures continue their support of the company alongside the new lead investors.
