Irrigation optimization edge devices.

Smart irrigation — soil + weather + crop-stage data to optimize watering.

Team-sized buildTrickle — one deal per quarter

Why now

Water scarcity + cost = real ROI for irrigation optimization, especially in arid regions.

Repos with sensor-network libraries, ML irrigation models, and pump-control integrations.

We name publicprojects + categories only — never founders we track inside the paid product. The buyer’s edge stays inside the product.

A timer-based irrigation schedule + a 30% water waste rate.

Capital + hardware-heavy. Fund only with prior ag-hardware team. The moat is the sensor + ML + pump integration.

Precision spraying software — Vision + ML on tractor cameras to spray only where needed.
Livestock vision monitoring — Camera-based monitoring of livestock health, behavior, feed efficiency.
Soil microbiome analytics — Soil microbiome testing + recommendations for regenerative ag practices.
Farm financial management — QuickBooks + cash-flow planning specifically for farms — seasonal, debt-heavy, complex tax.
