- What it is
- The funding announcement on the blog of Omi, the AI wearable made by Based Hardware, dated January 30, 2025. It says Omi raised $2 million from Tim Draper, with participation from the Dropbox co-founder, 468 Capital, Embedding VC and angel investors, and that the money goes to hiring and the next-generation wearable.
- How much weight it carries
- The company's own announcement, signed by its founder, so it is the primary source for the amount and the lead. It does not state the round's stage, and it does not give a total or a post-money figure. Third-party trackers list the same raise as a pre-seed round or a $700,000 seed, which conflict with each other, so this page is used instead.
