Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Seneye Ltd. is a verified, established company (founded ~2010) producing patented IoT water monitoring hardware for aquariums and ponds. While the submission contains significant errors (incorrect name 'IronHeart', exaggerated audience claims), external validation confirms 'tens of thousands' of units sold and a genuine market presence comparable to the calibration benchmark ($2M+ revenue range). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation (optical sensing slides), though the submission quality significantly underrepresents the business's actual professional standing.

Description
It's been our mission here at seneye to protect the world's aquatic life for over a decade; we have animal welfare at our core and environmental protection is fundamental to this. It’s over 12 years since we sold our first IOT water quality sensor which connected to our cloud. Since then, 10’s of thousands of seneye devices have been sold worldwide to protect fish and other aquatic species from harmful pollutants. Our devices have found their way into a variety of applications ranging from public aquariums to aquaculture and even frog projects in the Amazon. We feel we are doing some good on this fragile planet. Our team has a passionate understanding of fish alongside their delicate ecosystems; this is matched by a deep understanding of electronics and photonics. Our approach of integrated electronics twinned with seneye’s patented optical circuits means the deployment of multi-parameter water sensors and live IOT telemetry at an unprecedented scale is now possible. We are working hard on a soon-to-be-launched multi-parameter sensor platform, which has enhanced features to help protect our rivers and seas. It will help address pollution problems such as raw sewerage and excess nutrients. If you're responsible for water, you need a seneye. Matt Stevenson CEO Seneye
