About

Founded in 2020, the aftermath of the pandemic jumpstarted a shift to remote work, and a clear gap in the market appeared — the need for a solid professional webcam. Opal took on the task to build the best camera for remote work, focusing on both hardware and software to enable their vision. The newly launched Tadpole is the smallest webcam ever built, with a category-first directional microphone, a mirrorless Sony sensor, and the easiest way to mute your call with a single tap, it’s the perfect webcam to take with you anywhere. 

Founding Story


Founded in 2020, co-founders Veeraj Chugh and Stefan Sohlstrom know superior design and engineering and are behind some of the most beloved products ever built. We’ve worked on products like the iMac, Beats headphones, Google wearable products – like the Earbuds, Jump Bikes, and Magic

Leap. They raised a Seed round from Kindred Ventures, 776 Ventures, Offline Ventures, and others who have changed the camera world forever: cofounder of Instagram Mike Krieger, cofounder of Youtube Chad Hurley, cofounder of Twitch Kevin Lin, cofounder of Xiaomi Hong Feng, and Hugo Barra progrenator of the Metaverse vision at Facebook. We also have some great angels who’ve helped us along the way, Emilie Choi, President at Coinbase; Jeremy Cai CEO of Italic, Sahil Lavingia cofounder of Gumroad, Liam Casey founder and CEO of PCH International, Manik Gupta SVP of Teams and Skype at Microsoft, Matt Mullenweg cofounder and CEO of Wordpress and many more.
