Fieldin
Fieldin is a US-Israeli agtech company building a smart farming operations platform for large, high-value crop growers - the people who run California's almond orchards, lettuce fields and vineyards. It stitches together IoT sensors, mobile apps, a cloud control center and, since acquiring Midnight Robotics, retrofit autonomy kits that turn ordinary tractors into self-driving machines. The pitch: connect every spray, harvest and tractor pass to real-time data so growers can cut costs, prove compliance and eventually take the driver out of the cab.
Verdi
Verdi is a Vancouver-based agtech company building affordable, retrofit-ready irrigation automation systems for orchards, vineyards, and specialty crop farms. Founded in 2020 by UBC Engineering Physics graduates Arthur Chen and Roman Kozak, the company makes wireless IoT controllers and soil moisture sensors that install in minutes on existing irrigation infrastructure. Its AI-powered platform gives farmers real-time monitoring, leak detection, variable rate irrigation, and fertigation control from a mobile app - delivering documented results of up to 70% water savings, 90% labor reduction, and 10-20% yield increases. Backed by $9.5M total funding including a $6.5M CAD seed round in May 2025, Verdi counts E&J Gallo, Arterra Wines, and UC Davis among its customers, with 16,000+ acres automated across North America.
