Raven Resonance (formerly Ravn) is a spatial computing company building fashionable augmented reality glasses for all-day wear, plus a custom operating system that enables intuitive interactions with apps and physical objects.
Our team and advisors have years to decades of experience in augmented and virtual reality, and have contributed to projects at the MIT Media Lab, Samsung, Microsoft, and more. We are backed by Draper Associates (Tim Draper) and other VCs and angels.
We were founded by Tom Suarez, a Thiel Fellow, engineer, TED speaker and second-time founder who has consistently worn Google Glass and other customized AR/VR devices for over 10 years. Tom also did wearable computing research under Dr. Thad Starner, a pioneer in this space since the 1990s, at Georgia Tech's Contextual Computing Group.
