We are on a mission to provide tools which help farmers produce more food and use less resources. Understanding precise water and fertilizer requirements can help save over 50% in water and energy costs and increase yields by 20-50%. We make current ways of collecting and analysing information from the soil and environment much easier and help farmers make more accurate irrigation and fertilisation decisions. We do it by building soil and environment sensors (hardware) and cloud based data analytics platform (software). About Start-Up Chile Start-Up Chile is a program created by the Chilean Government that seeks to attract early-phase, high-potential entrepreneurs to bootstrap their startups using Chile as a platform to go global. The program offers its participants a global network in order to achieve this. During the six months period the participants must establish themselves in Chile, for which they receive a 1-year work visa and 20 million pesos (about USD$35k). The objective, besides developing their startups, is to create and foster networks with the local entrepreneurship ecosystem. The end goal of this program is to place Chile as the innovation and entrepreneurship hub of Latin America and it is believed that said goal can be achieved by connecting entrepreneurs and linking them together with dynamic and diverse networks. The program, unique in the world, is the ideal opportunity for bootstrappers to receive funding without ceding equity while utilizing one of the strongest Latin American economies as their launching/development platform.
