The 2024 VENTURE50 Awards took several months to complete, gathering more than 100 first-tier investment institutions and more than 1,000 investors as judges, and evaluating more than 3,500 high-quality science and technology startups from a professional investment perspective, in terms of growth, innovation, technological strengths, team characteristics, operational capabilities and other multi-dimensional and three-dimensional evaluation. In the end, 450 companies stood out and were selected as Fengyun 300 and Sprout 150.
The fact that Polaris IC stood out among more than 3,500 industry leaders not only shows that its performance in innovation, foresight, growth, feasibility, uniqueness and other aspects has won wide recognition from authoritative organizations, but also further confirms the company's investment value and development potential, and once again gained a prominent position in the VC community.

Innovation Leads Depth Sensing and Microlight Imaging

Founded in April 2021, Polaris IC is an innovative chip design company focusing on depth sensing and micro-optical imaging, and is the first company in China to realize commercial mass production of SPAD-based image sensors. With full-stack SPAD technology and high-speed digital integration capabilities, the company has built two product lines, dToF depth sensing and PCI micro-optical imaging, forming a rich product matrix covering single-point, scatter, line array to surface array, empowering consumer electronics, automotive electronics, security monitoring, smart industry, smart home and other fields.
The dToF product line is mainly used for depth sensing and ranging, Polaris IC has launched the DTS6012M single-point dToF sensor mini module, DTS6007M dToF mini module, DTS6004 multi-zone dToF mini module and other products in this product line, and will soon launch the large-area array dToF chip.

PCI photon counting imaging sensor is a new type of micro-optical imaging sensor, with high sensitivity, high frame rate, high dynamic range, which is greatly superior to traditional CIS sensors, and can directly read out the digital signal to obtain the image. At present, Polaris IC PCI product line has launched PCL7152 PCI line array chip, LD series of high-performance laser displacement sensor movement and other products, and is about to launch China's first automotive, night vision security and biomedical and other areas of the new large-area PCI image sensor.

Polaris IC has been listed on the “2024VENTURE50 Investment Value Enterprises Sprout 150” list, which marks the double recognition of the science and technology innovation field and the capital market for the company's strong growth potential, and also highlights Polaris IC's excellent strength in the field of depth sensing and micro-optical imaging chip R&D. Polaris IC will continue to adhere to the “2024VENTURE50 Investment Value Enterprises Sprout 150” list.
Polaris IC will continue to uphold the mission of “making visual sensing more agile and efficient”, break through the boundaries of product performance with continuous technological innovation, take market demand as the guide, and dedicate to making high-efficiency and high-performance chips to serve various industries, continue to empower the digital era of the Internet of Everything, and realize win-win with customers.
