Synature aims to improve the co-existence of humans and wildlife by assessing the state of biodiversity automatically. They do this by making biodiversity quantifiable by measuring the heartbeat of ecosystems. The startup, based at the EPFL Innovation Park, aims to achieve this goal by leveraging bioacoustics. This involves recording sound and using AI and signal processing to analyse the gathered data.
Synature has a holistic offering, including autonomous recorders that send audio recordings from the field, automated analysis of the gathered data and a dashboard that displays the data in an easy-to-understand way.
The two co-founders, Noah Schmid and Olivier Stähli met during their bachelor studies at the University of Bern. Since 2018 they have been doing projects together, and it was therefore obvious to them to eventually found a company together. Though both trained in computer science, their skill sets are complementary: Olivier focuses on the business side, while Noah specialises in technology.
