Sencrop builds connected weather stations and a subscription forecasting service that predicts microclimate conditions for farmers to help mitigate risks such as extreme weather and crop diseases. Its hardware stations measure temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and sunlight, and customers’ stations feed real-time crowdsourced data into Sencrop’s forecasting models. The company has sold over 20,000 weather stations and operates in 20 countries with offices in France, the Netherlands, the U.K., Germany, Spain and Italy; in France there is about one station per 20 square kilometers on average. Customers can view current conditions, export historical data, set alerts, choose between forecasting models, and access multiple subscription tiers. Sencrop integrates with decision-support tools like Rimpro, VitiMeteo, fruitweb, 360 viti and Idroplan to support agronomic decisions and irrigation management. The company plans to accelerate its international expansion, starting with North America, and recently raised an $18 million Series B. Sencrop is a French startup that sells connected weather stations and a data platform to help farmers monitor and manage their land. The company’s stations measure temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and other variables; units cost about $340–$570 each and are user-installable. Farmers pay a subscription (roughly $170–$340 per year) to access live sensor data and forecasting tools. Sencrop also operates a service marketplace where third parties can broadcast services such as disease-prediction alerts, inputs, insurance or buyers for output. About 5,000 farmers, winemakers and arborists—mostly in Europe—use the platform; Sencrop began with potato, vineyard and cereal users and now serves diverse farm sizes. With the new funding, the company plans to scale its community and expand into new markets.
