Intelinair Raises $20 Million in Series B

INDIANAPOLIS – September 24, 2021 – Intelinair has raised $20 million in Series B funding to continue to scale the company and its flagship crop intelligence platform, AGMRI®.

 

This round was led by the Regulator Group, LLC, Scientia Ventures, Takiff LLC, SDMC Ag Inc., and various ag industry and artificial intelligence (AI) industry senior executives.

 

“American farmers work very hard every day to produce nutritious and affordable food. At the same time, farmers are challenged by many factors. Intelinair’s AGMRI crop health and intelligence platform leverages modern artificial intelligence technology to monitor and proactively alert to issues before they become yield-stealing and loss-generating problems for our farmers,” said Al Eisaian, CEO and Co-founder of Intelinair.

 

Founded in 2015, Intelinair recently established its headquarters office in Indianapolis, Indiana, and has an office in Champaign, Illinois. Over the past six months, the company has added six additional experienced leaders to its team with plans to add three more before the end of the year.

 

Eisaian, added: “It is an honor to have great investors and great veteran ag industry leaders join our Series B investment round to help us accelerate our growth and allow us to deliver our services to a large number of additional farmers, ag retailers and other ag industry players.”

 

“Intelinair is bringing new and highly differentiated technology into an expanding marketplace.  I really like how the company is putting together an expanded team to position itself for growth,” said Tim Hassinger, Member of the Board of Directors for Intelinair.

 

“I am pleased to participate as a Board member for such an innovative organization. Intelinair is one of the most exciting companies where we have invested in all rounds of funding. Al Eisaian, along with a talented group of executives, is improving the future of agriculture,” said Douglas Hirsh, Member of the Board of Directors for Intelinair.

 

“We have been incredibly impressed by Intelinair in its use of AI to lead the ag intelligence revolution. Not only does Intelinair provide vital agronomical insights to growers, a $15 billion opportunity, but it also identifies actionable opportunities and provides tools to facilitate the decarbonization of the planet and drive sustainability and efficiency of food supplies, a global imperative. We are excited to lead the Series B round and support Intelinair through the next stage of the company’s evolution,” said Bill Wisialowski, Managing Member of Regulator Group, LLC, an independent sponsor of investments in growth companies.

 

“We believe that innovation in farming and crop production and health technology is a key to the improvement of human health. Intelinair’s deep expertise in AI applied to broad-acre agriculture convinced us that they can capitalize on this massive and global opportunity,” Harry Glorikian, General Partner of Scientia Ventures.

Yield Forecast

Understand where your corn yield is based on the current state of the crop. As the season unfolds, see how it is having an impact on your final yield.

Yield Loss

Powered by years of Nitrogen research at the University of Missouri, our corn Yield Loss analytic, powered by NVision Ag, gives insight into potential yield loss due to Nitrogen deficiency. Optional analytic for nitrogen management.

Variable Dry Down

Understand which fields and which areas of the field are drying down to help plan your harvest logistics.

Underperforming Area

low crop health

Not all areas of your fields perform the same and low NDVI doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything you can do to fix it this year. Underperforming Area alerts you to the fields and areas of the fields that are performing below their historical potential. This will allow you to quickly find those fields and areas and make adjustments to get them back on target and protect yield.

Nutrient Deficiency

nutrient deficiency

As the crop grows, it can tell us more of what is wrong with it. This analytic finds the fields and areas of the fields where there is a nutrient deficiency so that issues can be addressed before grain fill.

Disease Stress

disease risk

In conjunction with the Thermal Stress, Disease Stress alert takes into account weather information to more precisely indicate the type of stress impacting the crop.

Thermal Stress

thermal risk

Using our thermal imagery, AGMRI can detect elevated heat patterns of the crop that indicate crop stress.

Crop Health

Crop Health

Get a complete view of your farms and fields and identify where yield potential is ranked highest to the lowest.

Weed Map & Weed Escape

weed escape

Know what fields and areas of the fields have weeds. With machine integration or based on planting date, be alerted to what fields have weeds that may be impacting yield.

Historical Field Performance

AGMRI creates 5 performance zones in each field based on the historical average of those zones. This data is used to compare the current season to help understand where you are underperforming from the zone potential.

Low Emergence

Notification of what fields and areas of the field have poor emergence.

Stand Assessment

strand assessment

AGMRI detects the established rows and uses computer vision and machine learning to determine the best segment of row and compares the rest of the field to that segment to give you a relative map. If machine data is integrated, a stand population map is returned.
