About this episode

The episode discusses Ulysses, a startup focused on reversing ocean collapse through innovative underwater drones.

Founded in 2023, San-Francisco based Ulysses is on a mission to protect our oceans. The company has just announced a $46M Series A led by a16z, after early success of their underwater drones. The company's flagship product is Mako, a configurable under water drone who's first mission is to restore seagrass on the ocean floor. I love the vision of this company to protect the oceans and am rooting for them!!Ulysses website: https://www.theoceancompany.com/
