“I had studied machine learning at Princeton and had worked in a number of machine learning companies in the past. My first company was an algorithmic trading firm. So sort of similar to Flash Boys, we were buying and selling stocks automatedly.”
“We have a camera. The camera goes in the fish pen. From that, using computer vision, we can do a number of interesting things. We can determine the weight of the fish, the number of sea lice, as you mentioned, and we do sell it as a monthly subscription fee to these farms.”
“It's in the hundreds of thousands for like an entire farm. And it like, we charge by the pen, each fish pen.”
