FaunaTech

Our sixth India AgriFoodTech Investment Report - produced in partnership with Omnivore - reveals $1 billion in startup investment, a 60% year-over-year decline from $2.4 billion in 2022 which aligns closely with the 50% year-over-year global decline in agrifoodtech investments. #AGFUNDERINDIA24 #India #Investment #startups #funding #agrifoodtech #agtech #agritech #foodtech #AgMarketplaces #eGrocery #fintech Louisa Burwood-Taylor | Mark Kahn | Rob Leclerc, PhD | Michael Dean | Manuel E.

🐄 Mastitis costs dairy farms more than any other disease, but by the time cows start presenting visible symptoms, the damage is done, according to Bangalore-based startup FaunaTech, which is tackling the problem with a novel smartphone-based diagnostics platform for rapid testing of milk and bovine health at the farmgate. FaunaTech was a cohort 4 member of the AgFunder GROW Impact Accelerator. Applications are open now for Cohort 5. This year's program will see 10 innovative founders receive a $100,000 cash investment from AgFunder, introductions to its global network of co-investors, and mentorship and support from Singapore-based agrifoodtech accelerator, GROW, over a five-month period. ❗ It's not too late to apply.

🖲 🩺 “By using our technology, we’ve seen a decrease in mastitis cases by almost 55% and increase in milk production by 22%, leading to a huge income increase for farmers of more than US$200 per animal per year.” 🐄 Meet Rajat Pandya of FaunaTech, a startup improving animal health detection at the farm gate, enhancing food quality while reducing antibiotic usage and residue in the food chain. FaunaTech is the final of two startups looking to reprogram health systems for a more resilient food future, from the recently concluded AgFunder GROW Impact Accelerator Demo Day. 🤝 Connect with Rajat to talk about funding their commercial scale-up and expanding the horizons for agri-diagnostics ➡️ https://bit.ly/GIAC4 ⏰ APPLY FOR COHORT 5: https://lnkd.in/gmpe5wzs #goGROW #GROWDemoDay #agridiagnostics #mastitis #dairy #agtech AgFunder
