Amir Reuveny
The Wesper founder spent years making electronics bend. Then he built a company around a harder discipline: making complex technology disappear into an ordinary routine.
Ares Materials, Inc.
Ares Materials is a Plano, Texas advanced-materials company building AI-designed optical polymers for the display industry. Spun out of the University of Texas at Dallas in 2016, it uses thiol-click chemistry and a machine-learning platform called Pylux to formulate solvent-free, PFAS-free films, adhesives, coatings and cover windows for foldable phones, AR/VR devices and other flexible electronics - aiming for high optical clarity, mechanical durability and up to 90% lower CO2 emissions than incumbent materials.
David Arreaga
David Arreaga is the co-founder and CEO of Ares Materials, a Plano, Texas deep-tech company building AI-designed optical polymers for flexible and foldable electronics. A materials scientist with a Ph.D. from UT Dallas, he turned doctoral research on polymer substrates into a company whose Pylux cover-window and adhesive materials target the next generation of foldable displays. Ares pairs high-throughput experimentation with machine learning to shorten materials development from decades to years, and closed the first trench of a $12M Series B round in 2025.
Wesper
Wesper is a New York-based sleep-health company that has built a wireless, wearable patch and cloud platform for clinical-grade, at-home sleep apnea testing. Founded in 2017 (originally as Tatch) by Dr. Amir Reuveny and Adi Mordechai, Wesper combines flexible printed electronics, machine learning, and a provider portal to replace the wires and single-night snapshots of traditional sleep labs with comfortable, repeatable, longitudinal testing. The FDA-cleared Wesper Lab lets patients test at home while giving physicians high-resolution data that correlates closely with in-lab polysomnography.
Nuovo Film Inc.
Nuovo Film Inc. is a Silicon Valley advanced-materials company that develops, manufactures, and markets silver nanowire (AgNW) materials under its patented Crystode brand. Its high-precision roll-to-roll coated transparent conductive films replace brittle, indium-based ITO with a flexible, low-resistance, high-transparency alternative used in touch screens, foldable displays, photovoltaics, energy storage, and electric vehicles. Backed by Intel Capital and holding more than 180 patents worldwide, Nuovo Film operates one of the largest silver nanowire production lines in the industry and supplies touch modules to global brands.
