Founder / CEOSet the founding refusal and never moved off it: pro-grade optics, civilian price, no clearance required.
DVX was founded in 2022 on a simple refusal: professional-grade night vision shouldn't cost a fortune or require military clearance. The dark belongs to everyone who's willing to walk into it.
The dark was never the problem.
Access was.
$40,000 optics for governments.
Green fog for everyone else.
We started DVX to end that.
Night vision and thermal imaging, engineered to a professional standard and priced for the people who actually spend their nights outside. That's the whole company.
Four people, one conviction: the optics keeping civilians blind after dark are a pricing decision, not a physics problem. Work begins on a sensor architecture that could prove it.
Our first device goes live — and breaks the record. The X1 becomes the most-funded night vision device in Kickstarter history.
Backers receive their units across the globe. The X1 earns the Red Dot Design Award and the MUSE Gold Design Award in the same year.
The flagship launches. Combined across both campaigns: $4.9M+ raised from 15,000+ backers. Native 4K full color, in the dark, for the price of a decent camera lens.
The next chapter leaves the factory. Same promise as day one — see what others can't.
Set the founding refusal and never moved off it: pro-grade optics, civilian price, no clearance required.
Architect of the dual-sensor fusion engine — the reason native 4K color at 0.0001 lux is a spec sheet, not a slogan.
Shaped the hardware that took home Red Dot and MUSE Gold. Believes an instrument should feel inevitable in the hand.
Turned a sensor breakthrough into a 15,000-strong backer community — by telling the truth about what it does.
Orders, support, questions about the gear, or just to tell us what you saw out there. A human reads everything.
Review units, interviews, imagery, and campaign facts — straight from the source, no embellishment.
