# GLASS Imaging

> GLASS Imaging is a Los Altos, California startup building GlassAI, a neural image signal processor (Neural ISP) that uses AI to reverse lens aberrations and sensor imperfections and pull DSLR-grade detail out of the tiny cameras inside smartphones, drones, and wearables. Founded by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, the company licenses its software to device makers - it debuted commercially in the Honor 600 smartphone in 2026 - and pitches itself as recovering real detail from RAW sensor data rather than hallucinating pixels. It has raised roughly $29-31M, including a $20M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** Los Altos, California, United States
- **Founders:** Ziv Attar (Co-Founder & CEO), Tom Bishop (Co-Founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~37 employees
- **Products:** GlassAI (Custom Neural ISP), Co-Designed AI + Optics
- **Notable:** Founders previously built the technology behind the iPhone's Portrait Mode at Apple., First commercial deployment of GlassAI in the Honor 600 smartphone (2026)., Raised a $20M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025; ~$29-31M total funding.

## Products & services

- **GlassAI (Custom Neural ISP)** — A software-only neural image signal processor that goes end-to-end from sensor RAW to final image, jointly handling demosaicing, denoising, deblurring and multi-frame fusion while modeling each module's point spread function, sensor and noise profile. Claims up to 10x camera performance improvement.
- **Co-Designed AI + Optics** — A combined hardware-and-software solution where optics and neural processing are designed together to deliver DSLR-quality imaging to size, weight and power (SWaP) constrained cameras.

## Achievements

- Founders previously built the technology behind the iPhone's Portrait Mode at Apple.
- First commercial deployment of GlassAI in the Honor 600 smartphone (2026).
- Raised a $20M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025; ~$29-31M total funding.
- Backed by Google Ventures, Future Ventures, Abstract Ventures, LDV Capital and GroundUP Ventures.
- Reported over 50% resolution improvement on the smallest smartphone pixels (0.35-0.75 micrometers) versus traditional ISPs.
- Debuted GlassAI at Snapdragon Summit 2024.

## Latest updates

- **2026-06** — GlassAI ships commercially in the Honor 600, enhancing zoom photography by processing crops from the 200MP main camera; PetaPixel covers the milestone.
- **2025-05** — Closed a $20M Series A led by Insight Partners to expand its AI imaging technologies.
- **2024-10** — Debuted GlassAI technology at Snapdragon Summit 2024 and drew coverage for transforming smartphone image quality.
- **2024-02** — TechCrunch profiles GLASS Imaging as supercharging smartphone cameras with AI 'minus the hallucinations.'
