# Opdo

> AI-assisted optical engineering company combining design and simulation inside established CAD/optics tools with specialist engineers and verified parts sourcing.

## Why it is interesting

Opdo's $2.3M pre-seed, reported Nov 12 2026 and led by Angular Ventures, targets a neglected engineering bottleneck: translating optical requirements into manufacturable lenses, lasers and micro-optics. Existing Zemax/CODE V users need not replace their software. Time-saving claims are company-reported and not independently benchmarked.
