FarmQA, a provider of digital solutions for agronomic professionals, has announced the close of a UD$ 4 million Series Seed Preferred funding round. The capital injection will be used to expand the platform’s capabilities and geographical footprint, and to support product development initiatives, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence and integrated data solutions. FarmQA plans to leverage this funding to accelerate the development of AI-powered analytics and advanced data integration tools, and to pursue targeted mergers and acquisitions as part of its broader strategy to establish a more dominant presence in the agronomic technology landscape.
The funding round, which was oversubscribed, marks a new chapter in the company’s growth trajectory. It was led by gener8tor 1889, a North Dakota-based venture capital fund operated by the national venture firm gener8tor. The round also attracted substantial investment from O’Leary Ventures, the private investment firm founded by Kevin O’Leary, through the Wonder Fund North Dakota, and from Badlands Capital, a regional investment group supporting companies in the Midwest.
Platform Growth and Operational Milestones
According to the comapny, FarmQA has reported consistent and rapid growth over the past year. The company successfully doubled its annual recurring revenue (ARR) and expanded its service coverage from 20 million acres to 37 million acres under management. This increase underscores a rising demand among agronomic professionals for digital tools that enhance decision-making and operational efficiency in field-level advisory roles.
According to FarmQA’s CEO Kris Poulson, the company’s offerings are designed to address the real-time information needs of agricultural advisors and consultants who serve growers producing food and fuel under volatile and unpredictable conditions.
“We’re not just helping digitize agronomic services, we’re helping feed and fuel an ever-growing global population. Our customers serve growers who produce the world’s food and fuel, often under the most volatile and unpredictable conditions. Markets are unpredictable. Weather is uncontrollable. These producers depend on fast, accurate agronomic insights to make informed decisions and manage risk. The best defense is better information, and that’s what FarmQA provides.
Focused on Agronomic Advisors
FarmQA’s digital platform is engineered specifically for agronomic advisors, with tools that streamline a wide range of functions. These include crop scouting, soil sampling, fertility planning, and prescription writing. By consolidating these tasks within a connected system, the platform enables advisors to deliver timely, data-informed recommendations, saving time and increasing efficiency in the field. The company views its technology as part of the essential infrastructure that supports modern food systems, especially in an era where the integration of artificial intelligence and data analytics is becoming critical to agricultural production and food security.
“FarmQA helps the people closest to the field make smarter, faster decisions. They’re scaling rapidly, serving real customers with measurable outcomes, and we’re excited to help them become the go-to agronomic platform for consultants everywhere.”
