Participated · Equity · Aug 2021
Greeneye, founded in 2017 and based in Tel Aviv, develops AI-driven smart sprayers for row-crop agriculture. Its system runs on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform and uses TensorRT optimizations to achieve millisecond-speed inference. The company's proprietary dual-sprayer technology selectively targets individual weeds while applying residual herbicide more broadly as needed. Greeneye says its system can reduce herbicide use by as much as 90 percent and collects high-resolution field data to provide insights to farmers and stakeholders. It is piloting with corn and soybean farmers in the U.S. Midwest and aims for a wider commercial launch next year. The startup is a member of NVIDIA Inception and has attracted strategic investors including JVP and Syngenta Group.
