The CU Â鶹ӰԺ Connection
Polaris Electro-OpticsÌýInc. was co-founded by CU Â鶹ӰԺ researchers Noel Clark (Physics), Joe MacLennan (Physics), and Matt Glaser (Physics), together with a former student in their lab, Cory PecinovskyÌýand CEO Jason Sickler. Polaris’ technology uses ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals to offer the highest speed and most energy-efficient integrated photonics products for applications in both communications and computing. Polaris closed a $3 millionÌýseed financing round in 2023. In 2021, the team completed the I-Corps Hub WestÌýResearch-to-MarketÌýprogram—by Venture Partners at CU Â鶹ӰԺ—and won the Lab Venture Challenge (LVC)Ìýand in 2022, they completed the Ascent Deep Tech Accelerator and pitched at Destination Startup.
