MEQ Solutions has secured $15 million in Series A funding from global software investor Insight Partners to accelerate the rollout of its solutions and scale its mission to become the global authority in objective measurement of red-meat quality and yield. The funding will strengthen MEQ Solutions' operations, expand its team and deepen collaboration with partners in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and the United States – unlocking value, consistency and trust from paddock to plate.

The global red-meat market is worth more than US $1 trillion annually, feeding billions of people and supporting economies from Australia to the United States. Yet it remains one of the few global supply chains still dependent on subjective grading and manual inspection.

In an industry long defined by intuition and approximation, MEQ Solutions is creating an entirely new category of measurement and verification for red meat. Its suite of technologies, including MEQ Probe, MEQ Camera, MEQ Live and MEQ Insights, utilizes advanced AI models and proprietary imaging to provide real-time data on quality, yield and eating attributes, spanning from live animals to finished products.

MEQ Camera recently became the first video-based technology certified by the United States Department of Agriculture for beef grading, a world-first milestone that cements MEQ Solutions' role as a global benchmark for objective measurement.

This innovation positions MEQ Solutions at the forefront of Australia's emerging AI-commercialization story. The company exemplifies how Australian-built technology can lead globally in transforming complex, legacy industries through applied artificial intelligence.

Beyond efficiency, MEQ Solutions is creating new commercial models that can transform how value is recognized and shared. Processors can deliver verified brand-premium products, optimize yield and reduce waste. Producers receive clear, objective feedback that supports more accurate payments based on demonstrated quality rather than estimated risk. Brands can enhance consumer trust with verified quality and provenance insights and use this data to link consumer needs with supply-chain decisions. MEQ Insights, the company's data platform, powers this ecosystem by converting objective measurement into meaningful commercial intelligence.

"As we build deeper relationships, more opportunities are emerging to collaborate and unlock new value across supply chains," said Remo Carbone, founder and CEO of MEQ Solutions.

"Insight's investment will enable us to further support our partners and grow our teams to capture the opportunity in front of us, with a particular focus on operational excellence. We're installing truth infrastructure for the red-meat industry, creating value, consistency and trust across the chain."

"MEQ Solutions is well-positioned to be a category-defining company transforming how value is measured and shared in one of the world's largest industries," said Connor Guess, vice president at Insight Partners. "Its combination of hardware, software and AI-driven analytics represents the next frontier for transparency, traceability and performance in food production. We're excited to back Remo and team in this next chapter of growth."

MEQ Solutions is commercially deployed across three continents and is now scaling rapidly.
