Bedrock Ocean, a startup aiming to map the ocean floor, raised $25 million in a Series A-2 round led by Primary and Northzone.
The company developed an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) using sonar and magnetic sensors to map the seafloor without the need for large ships.
Bedrock's AUVs can operate independently underwater, offering faster mapping and disrupting marine life less compared to traditional ships.
The startup has already conducted paid survey work for offshore wind, oil and gas, and environmental assessments, impressing clients like the U.S. Navy with its speed and data quality.
