On 17 September in Rochester, NY, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Oculi as the winner of Round Six of the Luminate NY optics, photonics, and imaging startup accelerator competition.

Baltimore, Maryland-based Oculi received the “Company of the Year” Award at Luminate Finals 2023, which was held live at Innovation Square in downtown Rochester, and online.

The company will receive $1 million in investment from New York State through the Finger Lakes Forward Upstate Revitalization Initiative.
