Generalized Scene Reconstruction platform makes 3D+ capture of scenes from images
COLUMBIA, Md. (July 14, 2022)—TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced today its Seed Funds invested $500K in Quidient, a technology start-up based in Columbia, Maryland. TEDCO’s Seed Funds invest in early-stage, technology and life sciences companies and include gap financing.
Quidient, based in Columbia, Md., is a deep tech start-up in a fast-growing 3D imaging field called Generalized Scene Reconstruction (GSR). GSR solves a critical problem for companies across the globe by making the creation of virtual scenes from images accurate, affordable, and automatic. Quidient’s software platform is designed to run on ubiquitous devices like smartphones and AR glasses; its products promise to transform markets like insurance, e-commerce, telehealth, entertainment, and the Metaverse. Quidient’s first mover position is protected by a strong portfolio of patents.
“Quidient and its potentially disruptive technology proved to be a good fit for TEDCO’s Seed Funds, which are invested in companies that show promise of becoming venture fundable companies or are companies that, through a seed investment, will be sustainable through customer revenue, follow-on funding, or other forms of corporate venture,” said Jack Miner, TEDCO’s chief investment officer. “We encourage other early-stage Maryland tech and life sciences companies to explore our options and see if one of our Seed Funds is right for them.”
TEDCO provides funding, resources and connections that early-stage technology and life sciences companies need to thrive in Maryland. For entrepreneurs interested in applying for TEDCO funding opportunities, visit https://www.tedcomd.com/funding.
