About
Farmblox is a United States-based precision agriculture sensor platform — backed with $2.5 million in seed funding in July 2024 led by Hyperplane with Slow Ventures, MHS Capital, and Service Provider Capital — providing farmers and agricultural operations with plug-and-play IoT sensors and analytics software that monitor soil moisture, weather conditions, irrigation systems, and crop health across farm acreage, delivering actionable insights that reduce labor time by 50% and optimize water and input use. Scaling to 14,000+ acres across 55 farms in 18 months since launch, Farmblox targets the broad middle market of commercial farms (100-5,000 acres) that are too large to manage manually but too small to afford enterprise precision agriculture solutions.
