At Augmenta we’re on the mission of changing Agriculture by “smartly” automating the most critical agricultural operations, driving down costs, and improving crop performance.
Augmenta is a deep-tech company serving farmers and agricultural service providers with both intuitive and actionable solutions. Our company is the first in the sector globally, combining reliability with scalability. The technology is based on edge computing, multispectral computer vision, and AI to achieve an accurate perception of the farming environment (e.g. the canopy health) and automate tasks, such as fertilizer application. Our state-of-the-art machine learning tech and carefully designed hardware operate in real-time and the system "learns" the more it's used by the farmer. A typical farmer can increase his yield up to 15%, reduce the number of chemical field inputs by up to 20% and increase the quality of his field's end-product by 15%.
We are a diverse, agile, and cool team of top performers situated in different locations in Europe and the US. We care about each other, and our Culture & Values are immensely important for us. Trust is at the very heart of how we work; we have no fine print.
About our Values:
No fine print
Ownership
Open & courageous communication
Servant leadership
Think like a farmer
