* _About Eyebot:
*_
Eyebot is a VC-backed startup that develops self-serve rapid eye exam
technologies that provide reliable results in seconds. We are driven by a
mission to eliminate the barriers to affordable eyeglasses and vision care
through our hassle-free automation technology. What traditionally takes weeks
or months to do can now be accomplished in a matter of minutes. Our
interdisciplinary team utilizes cutting-edge robotics, AI, and machine
learning with the vision to revolutionize and disrupt the global vision care
and eyeglass retail space.
Eyebot was founded in 2021, and after a successful prototype pilot, we secured
our first venture capital round from leading VCs in 2022, supplemented by the
prestigious SBIR grant from the National Science Foundation. As we approach
the retail readiness of our first system, we're looking to add a dynamic
Business Development Leader to guide and own Eyebot’s go-to-market strategy,
establish key business partnerships, and ultimately scale nationally and
beyond.
