About Neatleaf

Neatleaf is a Santa Cruz, California-based cultivation management platform company using data, AI, and robotics to help growers manage crops and improve yields. Founded in 2020 by Elmar Mair (CEO) with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Munich, Germany, the company has raised million in funding led by AgFunder. Their flagship product is the Spyder, a fully autonomous robotic platform that scans crops in greenhouses and generates millions of data points on plant health and growth. The system uses a cable suspension system similar to NFL stadium cameras to cover entire greenhouses with one set of cameras and sensors, providing comprehensive coverage without disrupting growing operations. The technology can detect plant issues even before the human eye can, examining every plant multiple times and enabling growers to "go back in time" to identify when problems first appeared. Key benefits include reducing seedling production costs by 25%, saving up to 50% on seeds, 20% on fertilizers, and 15% on water usage. Tom Shields, Partner at AgFunder who joined Neatleaf's Board of Directors, noted: "Future yield increases in agriculture will start with better data capture at a plant-by-plant level." The platform analyzes data and transforms it into actionable insights for cultivation teams, enabling precision agriculture at scale. Neatleaf's mission is enabling cultivators to grow crops in the most efficient and sustainable way, addressing the growing need for food production optimization in controlled environment agriculture.
