ABOUT US
Every Droplet Matters
Every time a sprayer passes through a field, over 1.2 billion droplets are dispersed across every acre of crop. However, growers have long struggled with the inability to measure the efficacy of these sprays.
At AgZen, we aim to revolutionize farming practices by providing real-time insights into droplet behavior. Leveraging our expertise in fluid mechanics, interfacial physics, AI, and crop spraying, we unlock efficiencies for growers, ag equipment companies, researchers, and consumers alike.
Our Mission
We empower growers with the tools they need to navigate agriculture's ever-changing landscape. Our goal is to offer practical solutions that meet growers' evolving needs, ensuring efficiency, profitability, and accessibility in farming's future.
Meet the Team
Our team comprises leading experts who have either grown up or worked on farms. At AgZen, our team members bring experience from esteemed institutions like MIT, as well as reputable companies such as John Deere, Ag Leader, and Honda, among others. With firsthand experience using backpacks, tow-behind, or self-propelled sprayers, we intimately understand the challenges growers face. Leveraging our deep understanding accumulated over years in the field, we are passionate about empowering growers to maximize the efficiency of every droplet.
