Freiburg-based mixed reality startup VUSE XR has closed a €1.2 million ($1.3 million) pre-seed financing round, marking the company's first external capital raise since its November 2023 founding. The round was led by Düsseldorf-based business angel network IACD, with participation from individual angel investors. The company will use the funds to accelerate platform development and AI-powered feature enrichment for its VUSE XR Hub, which converts enterprise CAD data into immersive 3D training sequences for a customer roster that already includes ZEISS, Sartorius, Hologic, WITRON, and the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE).
