Augmodo

Augmodo (operating at augmodo.com) is a spatial AI platform engineered for real-time intelligence in the physical workforce. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, WA, Augmodo specializes in augmenting retail and broader physical environments with AI-driven tools that prioritize privacy and practicality. Unlike traditional tracking systems that prioritize surveillance, Augmodo’s solution focuses on enabling workers rather than monitoring them. Under the hood, the company deploys AI-powered SmartBadges—wearable devices that passively track shelf data on-premise, ensuring only relevant inventory and operational insights are processed. This allows retailers and logistics teams to optimize stock levels, reduce out-of-stock incidents, and enhance in-store experiences without compromising employee privacy. Backed by $58.8M in funding, including a $21M Series A round led by TQ Ventures—boosting its valuation to $350M—the startup has positioned itself as a leader in spatial computing for the physical workforce.
