• Sensei

  Participated · Series A · Oct 2024

  Sensei builds contactless, autonomous store systems that use computer vision, AI-powered sensors, and real-time algorithms to automatically update customers' carts and present ready-to-pay item lists while protecting identity and privacy. The platform gives retailers real-time visibility into operations, reduces checkout costs, and helps prevent stock-outs. The company says it nearly doubled its number of stores over the past year and now operates with clients in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Brazil. Sensei aims to reach 1,000 fully autonomous points of sale by 2026 and plans expansion into central and northern Europe. Financially, Sensei recently raised a €15 million Series A and previously closed a $6.5 million (€5.4 million) Seed in 2021. Sensei develops a proprietary platform that combines cameras, sensors and AI to enable checkout-free grab-and-go stores and forecourt formats. The platform allows retailers to automate existing and new stores, manage inventory in real time, and access insights into store usage. The startup plans to scale its R&D and launch new stores following the funding. Sensei positions itself against competitors such as Trigo and in a market where Amazon is selling cashierless store technology to other retailers. The company was founded by Vasco Portugal (CEO, ex-MIT), Joana Rafael (COO), Nuno Moutinho (CTO) and Paulo Carreira (CSO). It is based in Lisbon. Sensei, founded last year in Portugal, develops AI-powered algorithms for cameras that gather and analyse data on people and product performance in physical stores. The company says the data is anonymous and GDPR-compliant. Its product aims to help brick-and-mortar retailers close the data and insights gap with e-commerce by providing analytics on what drives shopping and product performance. Sensei's stated mission is to digitize physical stores and create smart stores that intuitively understand the needs of customers and employees to deliver more convenient, personalized shopping experiences. The startup participated in Metro and Techstars' retail accelerator last year. It has positioned its analytics as tools for retailers to implement changes that grow in-store sales.

• Kilimo

  Participated · Series A · Jun 2024

  Kilimo uses ~100,000 ground soil samples across 45 crop types to calibrate satellite imagery and remotely monitor soil moisture at the field level. The company provides farmers advisory services on irrigation and charges a fee for that service. When farmers successfully cut water use Kilimo sells the surplus water to companies in the same watershed and shares proceeds with the farmers; farmers typically net 20–40% more than they paid Kilimo. All savings and transfers are verified by third parties using the Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting standard. Kilimo has operated for about a decade and currently works across South America (it is based in Argentina) and in Mexico, with plans to expand into the Southwestern United States and Europe. It has partnerships or engagements with Microsoft, Intel and Coca-Cola as part of its corporate customers and collaborators. Kilimo develops a platform that helps producers manage irrigation by combining meteorological, satellite and field data with Big Data analytics to optimize water use and crop yields. The company says its solution can improve crop yields by up to 30% and increase water-use efficiency by up to 70%. Kilimo is also building a "water replenishment" or compensation system that links farmers using the technology with corporations seeking to achieve water-neutral goals. That system is currently applied in Mexico and Chile, and Kilimo operates in Argentina, Chile, Peru and Mexico with clients in Uruguay, Guatemala and Brazil. The startup plans to expand the compensation program to other regional markets with technified irrigation and high-value crops. Kilimo estimated that by the end of 2022 it will have saved about 50 billion liters of water, equivalent to six months of human consumption for a population of more than three million people.
