The world seen through ten thousand lenses

Taking inspiration from nature, WovenLight has built unique technology, DragonFly, to underpin a ‘PE 2.0’ approach throughout the investment life-cycle.

A dragonfly has five eyes: two large multifaceted ones, plus three simpler versions. Its large eyes are made up of tens of thousands of lenses, while nearly 80 percent of its brain is dedicated to the processing of vision — the dragonfly is thought to perceive the world as if in slow motion, despite flying at up to 35 miles per hour.

It sounds poetic, but the dragonfly sees many times faster than a human and can put thousands of lenses on the world. At WovenLight, we named our technology Dragonfly in tribute to this remarkable insect.
