Eyebot secures $20 million to expand 90-second vision test kiosks

Eyebot, a startup based in Boston, has raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand its 90-second vision test kiosks. The company, founded in 2021, provides a quick and doctor-verified glasses prescription service that aims to simplify access to vision care.

Eyebot's kiosks, already available in various locations such as malls, universities, retail stores, and airports, offer a free, 90-second vision test. The results are then reviewed and approved by licensed eye doctors, ensuring convenient and reliable prescriptions. Since its seed round in June 2024, the startup has conducted over 45,000 free vision tests and is on track to deliver over half a million annually.

With the new funding, Eyebot plans to expand its kiosk deployment and grow its team to further develop its product, clinical operations, and commercial growth. The Series A round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from AlleyCorp, Baukunst, Village Global, Humba Venture, Ravelin, and Ubiquity Ventures.
