Taranis and Finistere Featured in Globes

A leading Israeli Business publication Globes recently featured both Taranis and Finistere in an article outlining the outsized impact Israeli startups have in AgTech.

From the article:

There are also analytics companies, such as Tel Aviv-based Taranis. The company provides a forecasting platform and tools for managing fields in order to help farmers grow crops and cut costs. The platform gathers data from aerial photographs at less than military resolution, sensors placed in the field, satellite photographs, weather forecasts, and information from a patrol application in the field, uses it to produce forecasts of threats to crops, and recommends actions that can prevent losses from those threats.

Taranis expanded the area using its platform by a factor of 30 last year. The company is currently assisting growers of soy, corn, wheat, cotton, sugar cane, and potatoes on millions of acres in Israel, the US, Argentina, Brazil, and Russia. Taranis has raised $9.5 million to date in three financing rounds, led by Finistere.
