Founders Fund backs Poseidon robot to make fish harvesting humane and profitable
Founders Fund led a $22 million round in Shinkei Systems, the startup that equips fishing boats with Poseidon – a fridge‑sized robot that uses AI and computer vision to kill fish instantly via the Japanese ike‑jime method. By delivering humane, stress‑free harvests, Poseidon promises better flavor, longer shelf life, and higher margins for fishermen, reshaping the seafood supply chain.
