Squint is a mobile-first Manufacturing Intelligence Platform that combines AI and AR to capture the intersection of machines, processes, and people on the factory floor. The product enables operators to collaborate, supervisors to track work across shifts, and executives to gain new data for continuous improvement. Squint reports tens of thousands of operators across hundreds of Fortune 500 factories using its platform, with customers expanding deployments — one Fortune 50 customer is expanding to over 70 additional sites and a Global Fortune 500 manufacturer is rolling out Squint to 10,000 field techs. Customers have realized measurable benefits: a Fortune 50 site saw over $4M in increased profit in one year, a consumer goods company cut procedure execution time by 50% for first-time operators, and operators report 91% satisfaction. With the new funding, Squint plans to advance its AI capabilities toward Agentic Manufacturing, deepen workflow integrations, and expand into energy, logistics, and field services. The company is growing headcount, recently moved into a new San Francisco office, and is hiring across departments to meet surging demand. Total funding now exceeds $59 million after the Series B. Squint builds an AR platform that connects people with the right information at the right time by using smartphone and tablet cameras to recognize physical objects and trigger workflows. Its product lets organizations create AR-based workflows that deliver step-by-step instructions, maintenance log sheets, and generative AI–powered Q&A tied to specific parts of machines, whether or not the objects are connected. The company leverages computer vision and object detection to convert videos into AR procedures and to support content authoring. Squint initially targets B2B customers and has signed enterprise clients including Volvo, Siemens, Colgate-Palmolive, Michelin, and Berkshire Hathaway Energy. Founder Devin Bhushan left Splunk in 2021 to start Squint, drawing on experience building Splunk AR; the company was incubated at Menlo Ventures’ Menlo Labs and participated in Sequoia’s Arc program. Squint’s stated long-term goal is to “eliminate the search bar” by making contextual visual search and guidance ubiquitous. To support growth and further product development, the company announced a new funding round. Squint builds a mobile augmented reality platform that delivers dynamic, contextual help to factory operators, digitizing standard operating procedures without requiring an IT team. The platform maps instructions to the physical world to make training, operation, and maintenance faster and safer, improving learning speed and knowledge retention. Its product brings the shop-floor binder to life with interactive, contextual instructions accessible on a mobile phone. Customers include Siemens and The Volvo Group. Founded in 2021 and based in San Jose, CA, Squint intends to use new funding to consolidate its positions and to support its go-to-market strategy. The company raised the capital via combined seed and pre-seed funding.
