AI Cow Collar Startup Halter in New Funding Talks, Founders Fund to Lead—Valuation Set to Double Over $2B

AI cow collar startup Halter is in talks for a new funding round, with Founders Fund set to lead. The valuation is expected to double to over $2 billion. Insiders say the round is oversubscribed due to strong investor interest, with the company valued at about $1 billion before the new funds—negotiation details may still change.

Halter's solar-powered smart collars create virtual fences for cattle. Farmers can monitor livestock positions and health indicators in real time via an app, and remotely guide cows using vibration and sound signals to improve ranch management efficiency.
