Top Augmented Reality Startups in 2026

echo3D is a 3D digital asset management (DAM) platform for teams to store, secure, optimize, and share 3D models and scans across their organization and beyond. We help over 200,000 users to view and share massive 3D assets and digital twins, while allowing teams to discover, manage, and update 3D content in real-time across the entire organization.

Squint is a Silicon Valley based software company backed by Sequoia Capital (investors in Apple, Google, Instagram, and more) and Menlo Ventures (investors in Uber, Siri, and more). Our team has deep expertise in Augmented Reality — over 45 foundational patents and past work featured in Apple Event keynotes. Squint’s mission is to accelerate human potential by bringing digital knowledge into the real world. Our team has developed the only AR product in the world that is truly “open world” — that is: it can be created anywhere, on the spot, and doesn’t require a QR code or a 3D model to detect objects and orient itself precisely.

We’re building the defense layer that keeps humanity in control of increasingly intelligent machines. Technology is bleeding into the physical world faster than society can secure it. Rogue devices, autonomous systems, and AI-driven automation now surround us — and the stakes have never been higher. Sweep exists to detect them, expose them, and stop them. We’re assembling a lean, hardened team of engineers and operators to build the real-world defense network for the machine age — the layer that protects people wherever they move, work, and lead. If that’s you, this is your chance to do your life’s work and help solve one of the most important technical challenges of our time.
