We aggregate data for growers and buyers of fresh perishables to better facilitate trades.
Must say agri / food is a fascinating industry to work in.
The tech problems don't seem to be well known or often solved when compared to other industries I've worked in...which is both awesome and frustrating haha

Whats the big difference with modern existing greenhouses, like the ones in The Netherlands?
High-tech Dutch greenhouses are our base class. We are working very closely with operators in The Netherlands currently.
Basically, Europen food is in trouble.
Shipping container-based vertical farms, primarily for leafy greens
I am the founder of Optimal: http://optimal.ag . We are a team of engineers and scientists from DeepMind, Palantir, Oxford and MIT. Our mission is to grow safer, healthier food by deploying fully autonomous greenhouses outside every city on earth. We are backed by leading deep technology funds, including Founders Fund. We believe that high-tech greenhouses will be an important part of our agricultural future, for imp…
I spent a bunch of time modelling out the unit economics for autonomous greenhouses and struggled to find any combination of technologies that could even come close to competing with the current costs of field agriculture, including labor. Do you folks need something key to change in the competitive landscape (like climate change or very different immigration laws in the US) to become profitable? See https://www.eate…

Wageningen is the world's leading Agtech university. I just returned 2 weeks ago and the 2025 European Food production estimates are ugly, dairy down 30%, potatoes down, onions down, maize, wheat and other cereals down a lot. Basically, Europen food is in trouble.

I clicked on "Careers" at optimal.ag but it doesn't work( Wanted to see who are u hiring at the moment
This is a better link.
Semios has one of the largest IoT networks in agriculture to gather and analyze data to help farmers drive data-driven solutions. The network collects micro-climate data to predict disease and pest risk, alert growers of risks in real-time, and help improve water efficiency.
We have a complex stack composed of hardware, embedded, applications, data engineers and data scientists. We're hiring!
As an example, Semios helps growers reduce pest populations organically by disrupting the insect communication channels using pheromone released by IoT devices in the field. We track the effectiveness of pheromone using cameras in the field, and machine-learning algorithms to count pests.
