- Hololight
Led · Equity · Jul 2025
Hololight, founded in 2015, builds the technical bridge between XR applications and XR devices using proprietary pixel‑streaming technology. Its platform pixel‑streams XR applications from cloud or on‑premise infrastructure to AR/VR devices, overcoming device, performance, and security limitations. The company’s Hololight Stream Runtime enables one‑click streaming of any OpenXR‑compatible app, allowing existing applications to be streamed without additional development. Hololight frames pixel‑streaming as a way to deliver AR/VR like Netflix delivers video and says it is developing core technology and new products to strengthen that position. It lists partnerships with NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Snap, Meta and others and has over 150 international customers and partners. The company recently secured new investment to scale its business and accelerate global adoption of its streaming products. Hololight develops an enterprise XR streaming platform, Hololight Hub, that streams entire AR and VR applications across local servers and the cloud. The platform is positioned to address computing, data, and security challenges in industrial XR by amplifying quality, access, and security while simplifying management and deployment. Hololight says it pioneered XR streaming technology since 2015 and has expanded to serve more than 150 customers—including BMW, Nokia, and Engie as well as aerospace and defense clients—with 800% customer growth over three years. The company is a partner to Amazon Web Services, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Verizon. Hololight opened a US office in Durham in 2022 and plans further global expansion, including accelerated US growth. Following the latest financing the company has raised $27 million in total investment funding. Holo-Light is a German-Austrian XR software startup developing XRnow, an immersive streaming platform for augmented and virtual reality applications. It leverages a cross-platform remote rendering solution, ISAR SDK, to stream AR/VR applications from the cloud or a powerful local server to mobile devices, and plans AR3S as the first application on the platform. Management positions XRnow as the "Netflix for virtual and augmented reality," combining immersive content with compelling 3D visuals and an intuitive user experience. In 2021 the company secured partners (AWS, Unity, Tech Soft 3D) and customers such as BMW, Deutsche Telekom and Danfoss, which leadership cites as validation of rapid growth. Holo-Light says it will use the funding to strengthen marketing and sales, grow its community, and enhance its competitive advantage globally while entering new markets. This round is the company's largest investment to date and supports further development and scaling of its streaming platform and SDK.
