Flox, a Swedish wildlife intelligence company on a mission to redefine human-wildlife coexistence, has successfully closed an oversubscribed seed round of nearly $1 million. The funding will be used to scale its AI technology that communicates with wild animals.
The round was led by Unconventional Ventures, with participation from Norrsken Accelerate and all investors from Flox’s pre-seed round, including Almi Invest, E14 Invest, Argand Partners, and several angel investors.
The funding follows the launch of Edge, a fully autonomous device that uses bioacoustics and AI to communicate with wildlife in real time. Designed for remote areas, Edge connects to the Flox Wildlife Platform to provide 24/7 protection for both animals and critical infrastructure in sectors like agriculture, aquaculture, railways, and aviation. The first production batches for 2025 are already fully booked, and Flox is collaborating with partners such as the WWF, Alstom, Boliden Minerals, GRR Airport, and the Swedish Transport Administration.
“Flox is tackling one of the world’s most overlooked yet urgent challenges; human-wildlife conflict through a highly scalable, tech-driven solution. With a bold vision, deep sector knowledge, and early traction across multiple industries and geographies, the team is poised to transform how we coexist with nature. We’re proud to support Flox on their mission to turn a global problem into a sustainable, cross-border opportunity.” – Nora Bavey, General Partner at Unconventional Ventures
After four years of research and validation trials with wildlife biologists and leading companies, this seed funding will help Flox commercialize its solution and continue R&D, with a specific focus on expanding into the United States. Flox plans to achieve these goals using a combination of venture capital, non-dilutive research grants, and growing revenue from commercial deployments.
“Flox is the first company that truly aims to understand and speak the language of wild animals—and that will change everything. With the explosion of AI capabilities, our deep understanding of wildlife behavior and partnerships with leading wildlife research institutes and NGOs, the timing is perfect. We’re sitting on enormous untapped potential to put AI to good and redefine how industries interact with nature, not just for protection but for real coexistence,” – Sara Nozkova, CEO and Co-founder of Flox
This round provides Flox with the momentum to scale a new category of technology and redefine the boundaries of coexistence. The company plans to start with airports, transportation, and industrial sites to keep both wildlife and people safe while ensuring operations run smoothly.
