Transforming the way the world grows food. Cropsy was founded in 2019 by Leila Deljkovic and Ali Alomari (later joined by co-founders Rory Buchanan and Winston Su) with a vision to transform fruit-growing for people and planet through ground-breaking technology.
Cropsy's purpose is to unlock the full potential of growers' land with insights that were impossible before. Their proprietary AI-enabled hardware allows growers to monitor every plant, understand the whole crop, and track how it changes over time. In a nutshell, this means to bring omniscience to fruit-growing.
Why Cropsy?
With the team’s focus on viticulture they’ve been able to build novel hardware that significantly improves their ability to visualise vines and software that identifies a number of growth factors. They also have strong development relationships within the wine sector.
Funds have enabled the team to grow, and are being utilised to continue R&D and technology development as well as to get the technology into the hands (more like onto the tractors!) of more users.
In considering an investment into Cropsy, a number of key factors we assessed:
Cropsy was able to give us a clear understanding on each of the above points, and we are excited to watch the progression of their journey.
