Ulysses has raised $46M led by a16z American Dynamism. We are building The Ocean Company. The ocean is 71% of the planet. But it is less explored than Mars, and full of secrets, waiting to be told. It is the backbone of global defense. Home to the critical infrastructure that powers our world. And the key to the health of our planet. This frontier needs technology to protect and steward it. We are building it. And we need more builders Join us and explore the Great Blue Frontier: https://lnkd.in/gzhRpb5z **** I want to thank our customers. There are too many to name but countless groups around the world have chosen to partner with Ulysses to solve critical underwater tasks and we are so grateful for your trust and continued partnership. We are excited to continue serving you and your mission. This funding helps us do this better and faster. We are very grateful to our investors. We are excited to partner with Erin Price-Wright, David Ulevitch, and Ryan McEntush at Andreessen Horowitz for this next phase of growth. They understood our vision from the first time we met and have been great partners so far. Additionally, our seed leads at Pebblebed, Keith Adams and Pamela Vagata, have been friends for years, and it's such a joy to be finally in business together. They have been our supporters since day 1, letting us stay with them on our first trip to SF all those years ago. And all our follow investors. New ones like Booz Allen Hamilton (Taylor Rhoten, Brian MacCarthy), Harpoon (Jeremy Stein, Jacob Windle, Andrew Couillard, Larsen Jensen, Clint Brown) and Genius Ventures (Adam Gefkovicz, Ben Taft). We are excited to have you guys on the journey with us. And to those who have believed in us since the pre-seed and have doubled down, Lowercarbon Capital (Ryan Orbuch, Duncan Carlson), ReGen Ventures (Dan Fitzgerald, Tom McQuillen, Elena Klonsky), and Superorganism (Tom Quigley, Kevin Webb).
