“Unsmudgeable is taking a breakthrough technology with numerous lucrative applications, ranging from glasses to electronics to defense, and commercializing it with a practical, intelligent, and focused go-to-market strategy that I believe will not only maximize value for its shareholders but maximize the positive impact the venture's technology will have on society at large. After several meetings with Swarna, her ability to remain focused on the critical path, to seek advice and learn, to work hard, and to inspire others with a compelling vision were clear and present in every conversation. She is exactly the kind of founder I like to back, because I just know she will not give up on her dream. Swarna has taken all the right measures to protect the IP of the company and ensure a technical moat, while also developing the product with ease of integration and scalable manufacturing in mind. She's achieved so much in such a short period of time, and with relatively few initial resources. This is a company with a great "horse" and an even better "jockey." With the appropriate capital infusion, the sky is the limit. I am excited to be along for the ride as Swarna revolutionizes the glasses industry and beyond!”


Our Team

Founder/CEO
As Unsmudgeable's founder, I've conducted 500+ experiments and 100 user interviews, driven by 16 years of personal frustration with smudged glasses. Working with polymer experts, we've developed a solution to a problem no major eyewear brand has solved.
Simran MalhotraThin Films Processing Engineer
Leading thin film process development at Unsmudgeable, I combine materials engineering with biochemistry expertise to perfect our coating application. I focus on optimizing manufacturing scalability and coating uniformity.
Catherine ByrnePolymer Chemist
As Unsmudgeable's Polymer Chemist, I leverage my polymer chemistry Ph.D. and research experience from MIT and U.S. Military projects to pioneer sustainable anti-smudge technology. My mission: transform the eyewear experience.

Unsmudgeable: A Lifetime of Clear Vision

Led by materials science experts and backed by industry veterans, Unsmudgeable is revolutionizing the $585B eyewear industry with a groundbreaking anti-smudge coating that makes fingerprints fade away. Our proprietary technology outperforms current solutions by 140% in visibility, offering a permanent, PFAS-free solution to a problem that affects billions of eyewear users worldwide (like our founder below 👇).

The Problem That Can't Be Wiped Away

For decades, eyewear users have faced a persistent challenge that existing solutions haven't solved. Whether you're a surgeon in an operating room or a construction worker on a job site, smudged lenses aren't just an inconvenience – they're a significant barrier to safety and productivity.

The impact caused by smudges staggering:

  • Businesses lose millions in productivity annually due to vision impairment
  • Healthcare workers waste critical time repeatedly cleaning their glasses
  • Industrial workers face increased safety risks from compromised vision
  • Traditional solutions only offer temporary fixes that require constant maintenance

As one medical professional put it: "Either we continue to operate with smudged vision, or we have nurses come to wipe our lenses." - Sean Harbison, Chief of General Surgery at UPenn Presbyterian Medical Center.

Our Revolutionary Solution

Unsmudgeable has developed a breakthrough coating technology that fundamentally changes how eyewear interacts with fingerprints and oils. Unlike conventional anti-smudge technologies that merely cluster fingerprints, our coating causes them to fade away, ensuring consistently clear vision.

  • Proprietary anti-smudge coating that outperforms competitors by 140%
  • PFAS-free formulation (ahead of proposed 2030 EU ban)
  • One-time permanent application
