Calice develops computational modeling and AI-driven "virtual trials" that simulate plant–environment–management interactions to predict product performance across climates and regions. Its platform combines environmental sequences with client-provided performance data to reduce the number of physical field experiments and shorten product development timelines; the company reports being able to model future years from one or two years of data and to identify more commercial candidates using fewer test sites. Calice works with major agricultural companies including Syngenta, BASF, Corteva, GDM, TMG, Nufarm, Nuseed and Puna.bio across crops such as soybean, corn, wheat, cotton, sugarcane, barley, canola, carinata, potato and sorghum, with discussions underway for horticulture. Founded in 2022, the company has expanded into Brazil and the United States and employs just over 20 professionals, mainly scientists and agronomists. Financially, it completed a roughly $1 million pre-seed and a $2.5 million seed round to fund expansion, and management plans additional fundraising to accelerate growth.
