Acerni raises $635K to monitor livestock and fences with smart tech
What's the deal? Acerni, a Swedish agtech startup, has raised approximately $635,000 (SEK 6 million) to develop smart monitoring technology for livestock and fencing. The company's solution helps farmers keep track of animals and fence integrity using connected sensors.
