Aquabyte (aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa) is on a mission to revolutionize the ocean sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the ocean for generations to come. Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

We’re on a mission to equip product-led sales teams with the data, insights, and automations they need to close bigger deals faster. Growth for today’s highest performing SaaS business is no longer sales-led, but driven by a self-serve, product-led motion. In this new world, companies have an abundance of data about their customers - including firmographic data (industry, geography, company size, title) and product usage data (who signed up, how many teammates they invited, what features are used, who the product champions are). But, this data lives in multiple different places - the data warehouse, CRM, marketing tools, and more - and the sales teams don't have the tools to access and analyze this data to inform their sales strategy. Simply put, the traditional enterprise sales tech stack is broken. Sales teams spend an overwhelming amount of time digging through data and switching between various tools to do their job. Pocus was founded to make data actionable for sales teams so they can work smarter. With Pocus, sales teams can focus on adding value to their customers, instead of digging through data. As the first ever platform to combine product engagement data with customer demographic data, we are giving sales reps access to insights that have never been available before. With this unique data, we enable sales teams to convert free / self-serve users to large paid customer contracts more efficiently and effectively. Through analytics and automations, Pocus identifies top opportunities / power users, alerts sales reps of product usage changes, and recommends the next best action so that sales teams can close bigger deals faster.
