FloVision Solutions Raises $8.7M Series A to Bring AI to Food Production Facilities

Led by Insight Partners, the round supports FloVision Solutions' global expansion and hiring across engineering, AI, and sales teams.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FloVision Solutions, a startup bringing AI-powered yield and quality analytics for protein production to the global food industry, announced today it has raised $8.7 million in Series A funding. The round was led by global software investor Insight Partners, with participation from Serra Ventures, SOSV, and Rockstart. The funds will support FloVision's rapid growth across North America, Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia and accelerate hiring in engineering, AI/ML, and sales roles.

"This funding unlocks a whole new world of food production tech," said Rian Mc Donnell, founder and CEO of FloVision. "We're already helping protein processors run more efficiently and take control of their operations. With these new resources, we're doubling down on solving real customer problems and speeding up the rollout of features we know the food industry needs."

AI for the Food Industry

FloVision builds AI-powered tools that help food processors measure yield, monitor quality, and improve labor performance in real time. Its compact sensors attach directly to conveyor belts and workstations, scanning each product with vision, depth, and load cell sensors as it moves through the line. This gives processors the ability to analyze yield, quality, and staff performance on a per-piece basis—without disrupting production.

The system also detects defects, misgrades, and foreign materials in real time, triggering automatic alerts and enabling sorting, regrading, or rejection on the spot. It also matches products to the right customer specs, pinpoints areas of loss or recovery, and captures traceability data from origin to final delivery.

All data flows into a centralized dashboard where supervisors can spot trends and compare performance across shifts, enabling them to take action more quickly and effectively. With FloVision, food producers get the insights they need to improve operations and output.

"FloVision is setting a new standard for operational excellence in protein processing," said Jeff Horing, Co-founder and ManagingDirector at Insight Partners. "By leveraging computer vision hardware and software, FloVision's platform can plug into processing stations to create long-term durability and immediate ROI with yield optimization. They're not just adding analytics—they're reshaping how production decisions are made across the industry."

As part of the round, Madeleine Goldberg, investor at Insight Partners, will be joining FloVision's board. "Up to 20% of global meat production is lost before consumption, costing the industry $200B annually—with recalls adding $20B more. Flovision uses AI to cut this waste at the source, creating value for producers, consumers, and the environment," said Goldberg.

Proven Results Across Global Markets

Since launching in 2020, FloVision has processed over 23.2 million kilograms [51.1 million lbs] of food and deployed its system in leading beef and poultry plants across North America, Europe, and Australia. Customers using the platform have recovered up to 1.5% more yield, improved quality control, and boosted staff training and efficiency.

By embedding FloVision into their core workflows, protein production and food processing facilities see increased yield and quicker time to value in a market that has been traditionally slow to innovate. FloVision customers have seen up to 15x ROI by reducing waste, recovering lost yield, and making faster, data-driven decisions on the production floor.

Building the Future of Food

With this new funding, FloVision is hiring software, hardware and AI/ML engineers, AI data annotators, and sales representatives to support its growing customer base and expand product capabilities. "We're looking for people who want to solve real-world problems in one of the world's most essential industries," said Mc Donnell. "From day one, you'll be building tools that support the people who feed the world."

The company operates with a hybrid team across the U.S. and Europe and offers global roles with flexibility and purpose.
