Ulysses is using robots to restore seagrass populations


Seagrass plays a big role in marine ecosystems but is being rapidly destroyed due to climate change, Ulysses wants to help.

One of his friends mentioned a recent awful volunteering experience they had that involved planting seagrass on a particularly harsh day of Scottish weather. The startup is now emerging from stealth and announcing a $2 million pre-seed funding round led by Lowercarbon Capital with participation from VCs Superorganism and ReGen Ventures, in addition to angel investors. “We want to supercharge groups like NOAA the [United States] Coast Guard and everyone working on serving the ocean and protecting it in a much more efficient manor.”
