EarthSense, Inc.: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

The lack of skilled labor in agriculture has led to an over-reliance on capital intensive machinery, synthetic chemicals, and simplified agricultural practices. This has led to the variety of bad effects from current agriculture including on the environment, food quality, and farmer profitability. In addition, the increasing unpredictability of weather and frequent extreme weather events are damaging our ability to provide the growing global population with food security. To address these problems, EarthSense has developed an agricultural robotics and AI platform with three key applications: (1) developing the next generation of more productive and sustainable crops, (2) helping growers obtain actionable intelligence from their fields, and (3) managing problems like herbicide resistant weeds. The EarthSense platform is built to be modular and easily extensible - so that other people can easily participate in innovating in the next generation of robotics and AI technology. As a result, our agricultural AI platform will enable a climate-smart agricultural system, improve plant and soil health, drive a reduction in use of chemicals and other expensive inputs.

About FundedIQ's EarthSense, Inc. Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for EarthSense, Inc. is left off this page rather than filled in.
