Join us on April 16th, 2024 at 6 pm via Zoom for a special Countryside Angels meeting! Featuring Power Pollen and the Farmer Innovation Fund (2024 AgLaunch cohort of companies).
PowerPollen
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, SUSTAINABILITY
AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMODITY CROPS
For the first time in history, we can extend the lifespan of pollen in corn, rice and wheat – three of the world's most valuable crops. Our technology enables pollen to be preserved, stored and then applied at the optimal time to increase yield and minimize risks associated with today's standard seed practices. For corn seed producers, our technology helps increase yield by more than 20 percent – an added value of $1,000/acre.
Opportunity to invest in the AgLaunch 365 accelerator cohort of companies for 2024. This will include seven companies, and is a great way to diversify your angel investments. We will be showing short pitch videos for each of the companies listed below during the meeting.
Earnest Ag – develops probiotics that increase crop yields for farmers. Earnest probiotics protect against disease, insects, and weeds; promote nutrients, soil health, and drought tolerance.
Gripp Ag– revolutionizes farm activity and equipment tracking through a simple, yet powerful QR code + mobile app, making it easy to capture unrecorded events.
Quorum Bio – is engineering the next generation of microbial bio-fertilizers using a novel gene-editing platform to enhance nutrient availability and to improve seed vigor and yields with less fertilizer.
Reazent– has a patented agri-biological technology platform that provides high-efficacy sustainable alternatives to synthetic agrochemicals, enhancing plant growth and crop protection effects.
RhizeBio– provides a low-cost, high tech soil testing approach that decodes the complexity of the soil microbiome to reveal a range of vital characteristics for enhanced plant growth and production.
Upstream Biotechnology– has an IP protected trait delivery platform for the next generation of seed trait development to boost yields and overcome biotic and abiotic stressors when properly regulated.
Wandering Shepherd – developer of the Wireless Rumen Bolus (WRB), a device used in the stomach to monitor the health and location of over 200 different species of animals, both domestic and wild.
SoilMetrix – helps growers use artificial intelligence to maximize the fertility of their fields through continuously improved soil management practices.
