EchoLens operates a marketplace where creators can buy, sell, and license AR filters, UI shells, and reusable interaction components. The company’s goal is to reduce duplication and speed AR productization across apps and enterprise pilots.

With the new $30 million funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, EchoLens aims to grow its curation team, add certification pipelines for performance and accessibility, and improve developer SDKs for cross-platform runtime licensing. The company also announced partnerships with major AR SDKs to enable frictionless component integration.

The marketplace supports modular licenses that cover both authoring rights and runtime distribution, which simplifies legal work for studios reusing filters and UI elements. EchoLens highlighted enterprise use cases like retail virtual try-on flows and industrial training overlays.

Designers and AR studios benefit from vetted components and performance guarantees, with EchoLens adding support for optimized GLSL shaders and pre-baked occlusion masks. The company plans to roll out a subscription model for teams and commission-based payouts for creators.
