Meta Alum Mina Fahmi’s Sandbar Raises $23M to Redefine A.I. Wearable Tech

With $23 million in new funding, Meta alum Mina Fahmi’s Sandbar is building A.I. wearables designed to extend human thinking and creativity.

Mina Fahmi was working as a program manager at Meta when he became enthralled by the advent of large language models. But while he was exhilarated by A.I.’s rapid progress, something about his interactions with the technology didn’t feel quite right. Fahmi wanted to be able to talk through ideas effortlessly while walking around New York City and to engage with A.I. assistants that felt neither like companions nor co-workers. So, he decided to create a solution himself. That vision led to Sandbar, the startup behind the A.I.-integrated Stream ring.
