About Monil

Monil is a dynamic and experienced startup, founded in 2022 by industry veterans from renowned hardware technology companies such as Prox Dynamics/Teledyne FLIR, Cognite, and Silicon Labs. From day one, scalable technology with global potential has been embedded in our DNA. Since then, we’ve expanded our team to include diverse expertise in software development, marketing, farmer success, and sales, strengthening our ability to innovate and grow.

Our first product is an electronic collar that enables farmers to monitor their cattle and create virtual fences. This innovation saves farmers significant time, money, and effort by reducing the need to search for animals and maintain physical fences. Beyond these practical benefits, our solution promotes improved soil health, boosts production, enhances animal welfare, and fundamentally transforms livestock management for farmers.

Monil has solid backing from FIRDA, Innovation Norway and a range of smaller investors. We have been field testing our first product with pilot customers for two years, and delivered our first products to customer this spring. There is a huge and proven market potential for this product and Monil is well positioned for global growth.
