About Us

At Squint, we're building technology that matters. While many tech companies focus on digital-first industries, we've set our sights on empowering the 80% of the global workforce that keeps our world running: frontline manufacturing operators. From soda cans to tires, toothpaste to chocolate bars, chips to napkin holders, these are the people who build the things you touch and see every single day.

The Leading Manufacturing Intelligence Platform

Squint delivers critical knowledge to frontline workers exactly when and where they need it. Our platform transforms manufacturing operations by putting AI and AR capabilities directly at workers' fingertips, creating what we call "agentic manufacturing" – where every team member has the power to make informed decisions in real-time using practical, applied artificial intelligence tools.

Proven Impact with Industry Leaders

Our technology serves Fortune 500 leaders across Automotive, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Life Sciences industries. These companies trust Squint to capture and activate their essential operational know-how, resulting in measurable improvements: reduced downtime, minimized waste, and optimized productivity at scale.

Technology that Respects its Users

We build consumer-grade software that delivers enterprise-grade results on familiar devices: phones and tablets. By combining cutting-edge innovation with deep customer insights, we create tools that feel intuitive while transforming how physical production environments operate.

Backed and Built by the Best

Our vision has earned the support of elite investors including Sequoia Capital and Menlo Ventures. Our co-founders have been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 for Manufacturing and Industry, and Fast Company named us one of the most innovative augmented and virtual reality companies of 2025. Our teammates hail from Airbnb, Splunk, Square, Segment, and Ironclad.
