Founding Year: 2016
Location: Madison, USA
Funding: USD 500 000
Partner for: Risk-based Pricing Models
US-based startup Agrograph creates AI-powered data solutions to anticipate trends and manage risks for the agricultural industry. Its solution, AGROS, generates various types of metric requests at the field level while providing insights on vast areas of land with extensive historical yield and crop history.

Growers Edge offers a Farm Risk Management Platform
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Johnston, USA
Funding: USD 40 M
Partner for: Crop Management Plans
US-based startup Growers Edge builds grower-relevant risk management solutions. Its intelligent platform combines data science, public and private data sets as well as deep-learning algorithms to create warranty-backed crop management plans. These plans reduce the farmer’s risk and enable them to effectively plant, nurture, and harvest crops. Agricultural input loan origination is traditionally available to large retailers and input manufacturers only. Moreover, it is relatively inefficient with excessive disconnected steps, starting from the initial discussions with the borrower to booking the loan on an archaic loan servicing system. The startup’s solutions mitigate these drawbacks and ensure reliable and efficient risk management for farmers.
Ukko Agro facilitates Crop Loss Protection
Founding Year: 2017
Location: Toronto, Canada
Funding: USD 47 M
Partner for: Predictive Analytics
Ukko Agro is a Canadian startup that provides predictive analytics for crop disease, growth stages, and irrigation monitoring. Its solution aggregates weather, soil, and crop data from in-field devices and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms to forecast crop risks and suggest corrective or preventive actions. Using proprietary machine learning (ML) algorithms and plant science results in informative online dashboards. In agricultural operations, farm owners, operators, and managers plan or estimate a percentage of crop loss for each harvest. This crop loss arises from various environmental changes that may occur during the growing season and, therefore, are highly challenging to predict at the beginning of a planting season. Ukko Agro’s forecasting solution, on the other hand, allows farms to continuously monitor the changes in the farm environment and predict potential upcoming risks to minimize crop loss and streamline farm operations.
BirdsEyeView Technologies provides Weather Insurance
Founding Year: 2019
Location: London, UK
Funding: USD 490 000
Partner for: Parametric Insurance
British Insurtech startup BirdsEyeView Technologies offers insurance to reduce the risk of weather-related damage to crops. The startup’s parametric weather-risk cover is tailored to requirements as well as it makes immediate payouts when the chosen rainfall or drought trigger is met or exceeded. Moreover, it uses satellite data to remotely monitor local farm conditions to provide quick insurance quotations. Globally, a vast majority of farmland is uninsured and is open to risks from adverse weather factors, further accelerated due to rapid climate change. BirdsEyeView’s solution overcomes time-consuming, expensive, and traditional subjective insurance practices to enable data-driven decision-making for crop protection.
