Making every crop on Earth machine-readable.
Bio
Rishi Gurjar, based in the United States, is building technology to make every crop on Earth machine-readable with support from a Merge Grants award and early backing from the Medici Grant community. He'd co-developing a drone service with Verdus Labs for monitoring disease and predicting yield in grape vineyards, joining the AgTech Prototyping Hardware Accelerator at Rev: Ithaca Startup Works. Recognition for this work led to his selection as a recipient of summer startup awards through entrepreneurship initiatives at Cornell, where he is currently enrolled.
