About

Airwaive is a blockchain-powered decentralized wireless broadband marketplace — privately held, founded in 2020 by CEO Jeff Yee (former ZTE and AT&T executive) and Bin Zhu (blockchain serial entrepreneur) — connecting wireless service providers with home and business owners who earn cryptocurrency rewards by hosting wireless access points, replacing traditional cell tower site acquisition with a distributed micro-location network model analogous to "Airbnb for wireless infrastructure." The company raised $3 million in seed funding in February 2022 led by UOB (United Overseas Bank) Venture Management and Signum Capital, with participation from blockchain-focused funds including Fenbushi Capital, Spartan Group, Fundamental Labs, and Digital Finance Group. Airwaive has grown to serve 30+ wireless operators with over 6 million potential host locations in its marketplace. The company expanded into 14 Latin American countries in 2024-2025, bringing thousands of new wireless network sites to operators in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and other markets where conventional cell tower deployment is prohibitively expensive relative to the economic returns of serving rural and suburban populations. Airwaive Visualize, a generative AI-powered tool for natural language telecom site acquisition and management, was launched to streamline the deployment process for wireless carriers evaluating and managing distributed small cell sites. The company partners with JDI Global, the hardware manufacturer behind the Helium IoT network, for the small cell equipment deployed at host locations.

About

CropX was founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the mission of helping farmers improve crop yields and reduce resource consumption through precision agriculture technology. The company developed soil sensing hardware and analytics software that translate subsurface soil data into actionable irrigation and nutrient management recommendations, enabling farms of any size to optimize inputs based on actual field conditions rather than generalized agronomic guidelines.\n\nCropX's platform combines wireless soil sensors that measure moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity at multiple depths with a cloud-based analytics engine that integrates weather data, satellite imagery, and farm management records. Recommendations are delivered via a mobile app, enabling farm managers to make data-driven irrigation decisions in real time. The 2023 acquisition of Regen added 130,000 acres of managed farmland to its platform and expanded its capabilities in carbon and regenerative agriculture. CropX is deployed in 60+ countries across a diverse range of crops and farm types.\n\nCropX has raised $86.1M in total funding, including a Series C in October 2023, and has grown to serve 20,000+ customers with a team of 134 employees. The company's international deployment footprint — spanning North America, Europe, Australia, and emerging agricultural markets — reflects the universal applicability of data-driven soil management. CropX sits at the intersection of precision agriculture, water conservation, and sustainable farming, three of the highest-priority investment themes in global food systems.
