Metacept Inc

Metacept creates and spins out category-defining startups based on metamaterial technology. Our recent spin-offs include companies specialising in through-wall imagers (Resolv), space lasers (Astrobeam), Earth observation sensors (Kapta), and the world's fastest, most energy-efficient AI hardware (Neurophos). The Duke University research group led by Metacept’s CEO David Smith has been at the forefront of most major metamaterial breakthroughs, and spun out several unicorns that our team has developed products for. In addition to our spin-offs, we develop products for NASA and DARPA, further diversifying our portfolio for potential new ventures. Leveraging our extensive R&D and startup experience, strong ties with manufacturers and government agencies, proprietary simulation software, and exclusive access to the world's largest metamaterial patent portfolio, Metacept excels at rapidly building and de-risking high-caliber startups.
