About Monil
Monil is a young, yet experienced startup. It was started in 2022 by veterans from leading hardware technology environments in Prox Dynamics/Teledyne FLIR, Cognite and Silicon Labs. Scalable technology with global reach were in our DNA from the beginning. Since then, the team has grown to include a broader set of skills in software, marketing, farmer success and sales.
Our first product is an electronic collar that lets farmers monitor and virtually fence their cattle. This saves the farmer a lot of time, money and headache that would be spent looking for animals and maintaining fences. Additionally, our product will contribute to improved soil health, increased production, improved animal welfare and radically change how farmers manage livestock.
Monil has solid backing from FIRDA, Innovation Norway and a range of smaller investors. We have been field testing our first product with pilot customers for two years, and we are preparing to deliver commercial products to customers this spring. There is a huge and proven market potential for this product and Monil is well positioned for global growth.
