AI Cow Collar Startup Halter Secures $220M Series E Funding, Valued at $2B to Boost Global Ranch Intelligence

New Zealand-based AI cow collar startup Halter recently announced the completion of a $220 million Series E funding round, with a valuation of $2 billion. Led by Founders Fund and participated by multiple institutions including Blackbird Ventures, the funds will be used to promote its intelligent technology to more ranchers worldwide.

Halter's core technology builds 'virtual fences' for cattle herds. Ranchers can monitor livestock positions and health indicators in real-time via an app. The solar-powered smart collar connects to mobile phones, allowing remote guidance of cattle through vibration and sound signals, improving management efficiency.

This funding will accelerate Halter's global expansion, drive digital transformation of traditional animal husbandry, and optimize livestock management processes.
