Bozeman, Montana-based Blackmore Sensors and Analytics Inc. raises $3.5 million from Next Frontier Capital and Millennium Technology Value Partners to build better eyes for your self-driving car

A Bozeman, Montana startup called Blackmore Sensors and Analytics Inc. https://blackmoreinc.com/ has raised $3.5 million to build lidar systems that can help vehicles see more details about what’s in front of them than existing sensors do today.

The company spun out of a research and development firm called Bridger Photonics http://www.bridgerphotonics.com/ that developed lidar systems for micron-precise laser cutting and welding, originally, and then for military surveillance.

Generally lidar systems "see" by emitting beams of light every nanosecond. When the light bounces back, based on how long it takes to return, lidar determines how far away an object is.

Next Frontier Capital http://www.nextfrontiercapital.com/ led the Series A investment in Blackmore, joined by Millennium Technology Value Partners http://mtvlp.com/ .
