TL;DR
- Wildlife strikes cause significant financial damage to aviation and rail transport annually.
- Sara Nozkova developed Flox Intelligence to create a wildlife-deterrent system that adapts to animal behavior.
- Flox's edge devices use motion sensors and cameras with on-device AI models to identify animals.
- The system emits species-appropriate sounds to scare animals away and learns from interactions.
- Devices are deployed at airfields, rail corridors, national parks, and other critical infrastructure sites.
- Flox sells hardware upfront and charges an annual subscription for its software and AI platform.
- The company has raised approximately $5 million and is seeking $10 million in Series A funding.
