Tynt Technologies, Inc., a Colorado-based dynamic window company that’s engineering the first ever blackout dynamic window, announced it has secured $8.5 million in funds through a combination of private financing and federal grants.
With the climate crisis looming large, the Department of Energy has identified dynamic windows as an area of interest with the potential to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4% annually. Several companies have worked on dynamic window technologies for decades; however, their high cost, poor color, and lack of privacy in the tinted state have stifled adoption, especially in the residential sector. Tynt, the brainchild of CU Boulder Professor Mike McGehee and former Halio Chief Engineer, Ameen K. Saafir, is setting out to disrupt residential windows with a revolutionary technology that will give homeowners the ability to black out their windows in a matter of seconds, leading to increased comfort and energy efficiency while maintaining a clean and modern look at an affordable cost.
Ameen, Tynt’s co-founder and CEO, is leading the team to new heights, driving development, and scaling up reversible metal electrodeposition (RME) technology. According to Ameen, “Teaming up with my former graduate school advisor to commercialize Tynt’s unique technology was a no-brainer. By leveraging RME we can provide truly neutral color and full privacy at incredibly low cost, while meeting personal design standards for homes and having a positive impact on the environment. We are also thrilled to bring on climate-sector investors who are fully aligned with our main goals of sustainability and universal accessibility”.
