Founded in 2019 in Singapore by Siddharth Jadhav, Polybee integrates self-recharging micro-drones, computer vision and AI to scan crops, predict optimal harvest timing and autonomously pollinate self-fruiting plants. The drones collect high-resolution imagery and, through proprietary models, deliver yield forecasts that have demonstrated 3× profit improvements in spinach and broccoli and up to 15% higher yields in greenhouse tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries. Growers pay a fixed fee per hectare for an end-to-end service that bundles hardware, software and field support, eliminating the need to purchase drones. Commercial contracts are already in place with Australia’s largest glasshouse producers, major U.S. fresh-produce growers and the U.K.’s second-largest greenhouse berry producer. Polybee’s platform is hardware-agnostic, operating on off-the-shelf DJI drones that self-launch and recharge from docking stations. Near-term product expansion includes mounting multispectral cameras to automate disease and stress scouting, and the company aims to scale its footprint five-fold to more than 4,000 acres by 2026. Revenue figures were not disclosed, but management cites rapid ROI and cost reductions as key adoption drivers.
