Fish farm monitoring from a floating sensor
Fish farmers lose a tenth of their stock each year to oxygen drops and disease that are spotted only when fish start to die.
Tidepool's buoy measures oxygen, temperature and feeding behaviour around the clock and warns the farmer hours before stock is at risk.
Salmon and trout farms with 4–40 pens.
Bottom-up: about 60,000 customers like this in Norway and nearby, worth roughly $120 million a year at our prices.
What people use today
Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.
Why this team wins
Ingrid is a marine biologist who worked on fish health at an aquaculture company, so the team knows the buyers by name. Henrik built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.

Ingrid knows the customer and has sold to them before; Henrik has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Tidepool had a name.
