Flox, the wildlife intelligence company on a mission to transform how humans and wildlife coexist by communicating with wild animals using AI, has closed an oversubscribed Seed round of nearly $1 million. The round was led by Unconventional Ventures, with participation from Norrsken Accelerate, and all investors from Flox’s pre-seed round: Almi Invest, E14 Invest, Argand Partners, and a group of bold angel investors.
This funding follows the recent launch of Edge, a fully autonomous device that communicates with wildlife in real-time using adaptive bioacoustics powered by AI. Suited even for the most remote areas and connected to the Flox Wildlife Platform, it delivers 24/7 protection for both wildlife and critical infrastructure across agriculture, aquaculture, railways, and aviation. The first production batches for 2025 are already fully booked, and Flox is collaborating with partners such as WWF, Alstom, Boliden Minerals, GRR Airport, and the Swedish Transport Administration.
After four years of research and validation trials with wildlife biologists and leading enterprises, the seed round will help fuel the commercialization of the solution and continued R&D, with a clear focus on expansion in the United States. These goals will be achieved through a combination of venture capital, non-dilutive research grants the company has secured, and growing revenue from commercial deployments, positioning Flox for rapid growth and global market entry.
This round gives Flox the momentum to scale a whole new category of tech and redefine the boundaries of coexistence, starting with airports, transportation, and industrial sites, to keep both wildlife and people safe while maintaining operations.
