Flox raises Seed+ round to fuel US expansion
Stockholm-based startup Flox, which develops AI-powered wildlife management technology, has secured a $3 million Seed+ funding round to accelerate its entry into the North American market. The company’s platform uses advanced computer vision and machine learning to detect, classify, and safely deter wild animals from sensitive areas such as farms, airports, and critical infrastructure.
AI-driven approach to human–wildlife conflict
Flox combines edge AI cameras, acoustic deterrents, and real-time analytics to reduce damage caused by wildlife while avoiding harm to animals. Its system can distinguish between species, track movement patterns, and trigger targeted responses designed to be non-lethal and compliant with local regulations.
The startup positions itself as an alternative to traditional methods such as fencing, chemical repellents, or lethal control. By focusing on data-driven wildlife management, Flox aims to support both farm productivity and biodiversity protection, a combination that is increasingly important as climate change and urbanization push animals closer to human activity.
North America in focus
The new capital will be used to build out commercial operations in the United States and Canada, adapt the platform to local species and regulations, and expand partnerships with agritech providers, airport operators, and infrastructure owners. North America is one of the largest markets globally for wildlife damage mitigation, with billions of dollars lost annually due to crop destruction, bird strikes, and infrastructure disruption.
Scaling product and partnerships
Alongside geographic expansion, Flox plans to invest in improving its AI models, enhancing hardware resilience for harsh outdoor environments, and deepening integration with existing farm management software and security systems. The company is also expected to explore recurring-revenue models based on subscriptions and monitoring services, positioning itself as a long-term technology partner for landowners and operators seeking safer, more sustainable ways to manage wildlife interactions.
