From $2.2M to $10.7M in one year: how Polysense grew from pilot projects to global production lines — TFN

Polysense recently raised $10.7 million in a seed round led by Felix Capital, which is five times more than its last funding round.

The Belgian startup’s AI now runs on food production lines in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.

One potato processor cut peeling time by 45% using real-time quality monitoring.

A 45% faster potato-peeling process might not sound like a typical funding story, but results like this convinced Felix Capital to lead a $10.7 million seed round for Polysense. The Ghent-based startup uses cameras and AI on food factory lines to replace manual inspection.

Fortino Ventures, Syndicate One, and angel investors like 100IN also joined the round. This new funding comes almost a year after Polysense’s $2.2 million seed round. The company says the timing reflects real progress, not just growth.
