  ^This opportunity is only for professional and sophisticated investors.

Opportunity description

Industry challenge

Farmers need to understand crop variability as it’s challenging to rely on manual, inaccurate and incomplete crop inspections. In the face of labour shortages, manual counting and measuring is hard to scale and inefficiencies and human error often leads to undiagnosed problems and consequent yield losses.

Bitwise Agronomy is working with high value, intensive horticulture crops like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, snacking cucumbers (qukes), wine and table grapes to deliver precision analytics to help forecast yield and manage variability. Bitwise helps farmers know what they are going to grow.

Current opportunity

Bitwise is currently seeking conversations with the following:

• Strategic, agricultural, deep tech seed investors
• Strategic partners to explore new and relevant relationships to find new ways of imagery capture e.g., robotics companies, corporate agriculture.

Opportunity background

The Bitwise Agronomy GreenView platform uses cutting-edge AI crop analysis technology that can see like humans, but more accurately, more consistently and at a superhuman speed.

Growers use simple off-the-shelf GoPro cameras attached to existing farm machinery, and capture video footage when performing jobs like mulching, mowing, or spraying. GreenView then takes this footage and crunches the numbers into interactive dashboards and maps to guide crop management decisions.

Potential other applications

Whilst Bitwise Agronomy’s GreenView AI platform is currently focused on intensive horticulture crops, potential application to other agricultural systems is possible if market led demand is evident.
