Joffe & Associés advises Inarix for a fund raising. The company, which specializes in agricultural crop imaging analysis solutions based on artificial intelligence, is accelerating its development in Europe and the United States with the help of a €3.1 million round of financing.

The technology developed by Inarix aims to simplify agricultural harvesting by monitoring production quality through a smartphone application. It allows “to get results instantly, on the go, and without having to use bulky and complex machines,” states Inarix founder and CEO Pierre Chapelle. He adds that “These analyses are usually done by machines. And we manage to have the same reliability rate as them”.

After developing independently for over four years, Inarix is opening up its capital for the first time. Among other things, the CEO in 2018 self-funded the development of its agricultural crop analysis software, until the signing of a first customer in 2019.

Now with a team of more than thirty employees, 400 agricultural user sites as well as a flourishing marketing, the company is raising €3.1 million from Ankaa Ventures, followed by the Spanish company Label Investment, which specializes in innovation in agriculture, Newfund, Alliance for impact, a vehicle managed by Ventech, and ResiliAnce, an investment structure.

“The vast majority of imaging solutions for agriculture are dedicated to unharvested crops. Inarix’s solution is unique in this sense,” confirms Jonathan Cohen-Sabban, co-founder of Ankaa Ventures.

With this round of financing, Inarix hopes to position itself as a leader in the American and European markets. Investments in R&D will also be made, notably in order to be able to analyze corn, soybean and coffee crops, in addition to strengthening the core technology

Joffe & Associés advises Inarix on a fundraising round. The company, which specialises in AI-powered crop imaging analysis solutions, is accelerating its expansion in Europe and the US with funding of €3.1 million.

The technology developed by Inarix aims to simplify the harvesting process by monitoring crop quality via a smartphone app. It enables users to “obtain results instantly, whilst on the move, and without having to use bulky, complex machinery”, says Inarix’s founder and CEO, Pierre Chapelle. He adds that “These analyses are usually carried out by machines. And we manage to achieve the same level of reliability as they do.”

After growing independently for more than four years, Inarix is opening up its share capital for the first time. In 2018, the CEO self-funded the development of the company’s agricultural yield analysis software, right up until the signing of its first client in 2019.

Now boasting a team of over thirty employees, 400 agricultural sites using its services and a thriving sales operation, the company has raised €3.1 million from Ankaa Ventures, followed by the Spanish firm Label Investment – which specialises in agricultural innovation – Newfund, Alliance for Impact (a fund managed by Ventech) and ResiliAnce, an investment firm.

“The vast majority of imaging solutions for agriculture are designed for non-harvested crops. Inarix’s solution is unique in this respect,” confirms Jonathan Cohen-Sabban, co-founder of Ankaa Ventures.

With this funding round, Inarix aims to establish itself as a market leader in the US and European markets. Investments will also be made in R&D, particularly to enable the analysis of maize, soya and coffee crops, as well as to strengthen the core technology.
