Instacrops
Helping farmers maximize crop yield
Instacrops is a simple dashboard that helps farmers maximize their crop yield. We give farmers IoT sensors to put in their field. We combine that data with satellite and drone data to provide analytics on the health of their farms. Farmers use this to increase their crops yield by 12% on average. We’re live on 300+ farms across Latam and have reached more than $200.000 in monthly revenue, growing 2X YoY. There’s 2.9 billion acres of farmland in Latin America which makes this a $50 billion market. We’re instacrops. We’re bringing data driven decisions to farmers worldwide
Active Founders
Mario Bustamante, Founder
As an electronics engineer with 10+ years of experience, I developed personalized IoT devices selling 11,000+ units which led to my first exit. I sold my first startup to one of the top retailers in LATAM. Inspired by my girlfriend, a farmer and agronomist, I became passionate about helping farmers make better decisions. Today, with Instacrops, we are operating in 350+ farms wondering how to improve the food production with Software and AI reducing food security risks
