## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2023 by co-founders Akhil Voorakkara (CEO), Colm O’Brien, Jamie Wedderburn, and Mr. O’Brien, Ulysses Ecosystem Engineering Incorporated operates as a provider of autonomous restoration solutions, enabling kilometer-scale seagrass restoration to address biodiversity loss and carbon removal for sustainability-focused organizations and marine ecosystem advocates. In April 2026, Ulysses Ecosystem Engineering Incorporated raised USD 38 million in series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Booz Allen Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, ReGen Ventures, and Superorganism, and Harpoon Ventures.

The company provides a seagrass restoration platform that offers large-scale ecosystem restoration to governments, project developers, and non-profits. The platform's services include seed collection, processing, planting, and monitoring using autonomous robots. Moreover, the firm offers carbon removal solutions, developing durable projects with biodiversity, economic, and social benefits. The company primarily operates in coastal regions worldwide, focusing on markets where seagrass ecosystems are critical for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and coastal protection.

The company generates revenue through its seagrass restoration services and carbon removal initiatives, engaging clients through B2B partnerships with governmental and non-governmental organizations. The company’s revenue model is structured around project-based contracts that include a comprehensive scope of work, allowing clients to achieve sustainability goals while benefiting from the ecological advantages of seagrass restoration.

The company plans to use the April 2026 funding to build and deploy its autonomous ocean robots, expand its engineering team, and scale operations to take on more marine monitoring and restoration projects.
