Polysense Closes Seed Funding Round of USD10.7M

Polysense closed an oversubscribed seed funding round of USD10.7m at the beginning of July 2026, the round being led by Felix Capital.

The round comes just over a year after Polysense closed a USD2.2m round and made a decisive bet to double down on food manufacturing. Over the past twelve months, the company moved from early traction to live deployments with some of the largest food manufacturers in the world, including Agristo, Darta, and Poppies Bakeries. What began as deployments in Europe has expanded to the United States and the Middle East, with customers now continuing to scale their rollouts. Polysense systems have been deployed on vegetables, potato, bakery, confectionery and packaging production lines.

The CEO and Co-founder of Polysense, Yarne de Munck, stated: “The past twelve months have been incredible. The traction is real. We went from early pilots to live deployments with some of the largest food manufacturers in the world, and they are growing their rollouts. The food industry has been waiting for a solution to this problem. Polysense delivers one that works. This funding lets us move faster and reach many more lines around the world. We are just getting started.”

Lucas Van Dijck, the CTO and Co-founder of Polynese, said: “I am incredibly proud of what our engineering team has built. For the first time, food manufacturers have a system that inspects every single product on the line in real time and automatically corrects the process when something drifts. This is not an incremental improvement. It unlocks a level of quality control the food industry has never had access to before.”

Polysense is reportedly already delivering measurable results, as a leading European potato processor has reduced peeling time by 45% through real-time monitoring of peel quality and automated process adjustments, while a bakery manufacturer has increased yield through automatic oven temperature control.

Polysense also aims to fix the issue of food and beverage manufacturing accounting for 19% of all food waste, according to Eurostat, and their solution for it is Polysense Qualify, which provides continuous AI-native inline inspection, measuring quality every second directly on the line, instantly detecting specification drift and foreign material.

The Polysense Platform connects quality data across the line into a unified view of quality and process performance, helping manufacturers understand variability and identify improvement opportunities. At the same time, Polysense AutoControl closes the feedback loop by automatically adjusting machine parameters in real time, compensating for variability in ingredients and conditions to correct deviations before they become waste.

The investment will go toward three areas: deepening the product to cover more stages of the production process and increasing the value for customers, growing the team across engineering, sales, and customer success, and making deployment faster.

Angela Chou, an Investor at Felix Capital, stated: “At Felix, we have studied and invested in many parts of the food value chain, and have a deep appreciation for the size of the market as well as the depth and complexity of the problem that Polysense solves. When we first met Polysense, we were immediately impressed with the team’s knowledge, ambition, and deep technical rigor. Within a few months of launch, Polysense won the trust of some of the biggest food manufacturers in the world and has delivered tangible value to their customers. We are excited to be a part of this journey alongside a remarkable group of partners.”

Polysense builds AI-native process control technology that turns food production lines into self-optimizing systems.
