The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
OctaPulse is a Y Combinator-backed startup developing robotics and computer vision technology for fish farming. The company has created an automated fish inspection system that uses cameras and AI to monitor fish health, detect diseases, and track growth metrics in real-time. Currently deployed with North America's largest trout producer, the system aims to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance sustainability in aquaculture. The founders, who have no background in aquaculture, entered the space after identifying significant inefficiencies in seafood production and seeing an opportunity to apply robotics and computer vision to address these challenges.
