InnerPlant Living Sensors signal their needs in a scalable, affordable way to reduce chemical use and increase crop yields

How we started

(Like all good stories, it began with a seeded idea. A good one.)

Shely grew up in Israel and came to the United States to get her MBA at Stanford, where she chose entrepreneurship as her focus. Inspired by some work her father-in-law was doing in biosensors, Shely saw an opportunity to create a lasting, positive change in the world. Rod worked on his family’s farm in the field and drove a tractor. He didn’t plan to work in agriculture, but as soon as he started working in a plant genetics lab, he loved it.

How we think

(Well. We think about farmers first)

Our Mission

Plants communicate. We give them a voice. With InnerPlant they can tell us what they need and when, providing farmers timely, actionable data, increasing crop yields, reducing chemical use, and planting healthier futures.

Our Vision

Plants will be the guiding light to resilient farming. At InnerPlant we develop technology platforms that will contribute to healthier soil, sustainably feed the world, and ease global food chain supply challenges.

Our Values

We value the critical role farmers play in society. But the challenges they face in managing crop stress requires them to apply chemicals in advance everywhere because they’re unable to identify problems early enough to take action. We believe crop health must be solved on a plant-by-plant basis. By digitizing a plant’s stress with our living sensors, we can spotlight areas of concern allowing farmers to pick the right treatment at the right place and the right time to protect crops and increase yields.  Data driven farming at the plant level will allow profitability and sustainability to finally coexist.

InnerPlant's Living Sensors signal their needs so farmers can quickly take corrective measures to protect the crop, reduce chemical use, and increase crop yields in a scalable, affordable way.
