Stockholm-based Flox, a wildlife intelligence company on a mission to transform how humans and wildlife coexist by speaking to wild animals with their 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.
“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,” said Sara Nozkova, CEO and Co-founder of Flox.
Founded in 2020, Flox is a wildlife-intelligence AI company that decodes animal intent and replies in real time, helping humans and wildlife coexist across runways, rail corridors, farmlands, mines and beyond – without conflict.
By commercialising frontier wildlife science with latest AI models, they replace pyrotechnics, fences and guesswork with data-driven dialogue – aiming to save lives, protecting ecosystems and cutting billions in avoidable losses.
This announcement follows the recent launch of Edge – their fully autonomous device that speaks to 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 already collaborating with partners like WWF, Alstom, Boliden Minerals, GRR Airport and 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,” says Nora Bavey, General Partner at Unconventional Ventures.
After four years of research and validation trials with wildlife biologists and leading enterprises, the Seed round will help fuel commercialsation of the solution and continued R&D, with a clear focus on expansion in the United States.
The company says 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 and keep operations going.
