Protecting the people who work the land
Investor briefing / Sounder Solutions
This isn't a pitch for any checkbook. We're looking for an investor who knows what it's like to lose a hay field to thirty hogs overnight — someone in the ag world who sees the problem, understands the hardship, and can see a horizon we haven't reached yet. We already walked away from one accelerator because the fit wasn't right. The right partner matters more than the fastest check.

The investment case
Feral hogs cause $2.5 billion in annual U.S. agricultural damage. The population doubles every five years. Conventional trapping removes a few animals and educates the rest — making the next capture harder. The industry doesn't need a better trap. It needs an intelligence system that verifies the full group is present before acting.
Take three out of twelve and you've trained nine survivors to avoid traps. The only effective strategy is whole-sounder capture — and that requires knowing when every animal is inside. No human can watch a screen 24/7. AI can.
Three hardware generations built in Northeast Texas. The technology started as a working system on the founder's property — a mesh network, a screen, and a manual trigger a quarter mile from the house. It works because it was built to work, not to demo.
Field imagery, thermal signatures, capture events, sounder behavior patterns — collected from real East Texas deployments. This proprietary dataset compounds with every unit in the field. No competitor can buy it or replicate it from generic wildlife data.
Platform vision
The Sentinel is the flagship — but the AI layer isn't locked to one product. We're already building a trail camera line that puts the same intelligence into a form factor any rancher, hunter, or wildlife professional can deploy. Same models. Same training. Different price point. Broader market.
Full-scale field AI. Jetson Orin, dual cameras, solar, thermal wake, autonomous gate control. Designed for commercial landowners, government land managers, and ag operations with serious hog pressure.
67 TOPS · Off-grid · Autonomous decisionsSame intelligence layer in an affordable trail camera form factor. Wildlife monitoring, herd health checks, predator alerts, wounded animal identification, perimeter coverage. No corral required — just deploy and monitor.
Smart detection · Accessible price · Broad marketBoth tiers feed the same cloud dashboard and the same proprietary dataset. More deployments = smarter models = better detection = more deployments. The flywheel doesn't depend on one hardware SKU.
SaaS layer · Data compounding · Multi-use caseIntelligence platform use cases
NVIDIA technology in production use
Every layer of our pipeline runs on NVIDIA tools. Local development on a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Cloud training on A10G Tensor Cores. TensorRT optimization. Jetson deployment. One SDK from workstation to field. NVIDIA accepted us into Inception because we're building real products on their platform — not just using the logo.
Full technical walkthrough →Dataset preparation, label QA, rapid training experiments, and TensorRT export testing on local GPU.
Full YOLOv8 training runs on NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs. $10K in compute credits through Inception.
Trained models quantized to FP16/INT8 for 60–100+ FPS inference on Jetson hardware.
67 TOPS of on-device compute. DIN-rail mounted, solar powered, zero cloud dependency for decisions.
Progress made
Manual mesh system → Raspberry Pi + cellular → Jetson Orin Nano Super. Each generation solved the previous one's ceiling. V3 architecture is finalized.
Full-Array Fire (FAF™) trigger logic. Application No. 63/783,959, filed April 5, 2025. Assigned to Sounder Solutions LLC. Addresses the primary failure mode of trapping: partial capture.

The right partner
The right investor for Sounder Solutions is someone in the ag world — someone who understands what it means to work the land, who's felt the frustration of a problem that outgrows every solution thrown at it. Someone who can see where this platform goes and help us get there. Not just capital. Perspective. Vision we haven't found yet. A partner who relates to the core value: protect the people who work the land.
If that's you — or you know who it is — the right move is a conversation.
