Agricultural intelligence · Portugal

See it coming. Act early.

Siren predicts plant disease and water stress before the crop shows them, and tells growers when to act. Our tools are trained on nine crops, tested on our own land and now running on a client farm.

  • First client pilot

    running since October 2026

  • 9 crops

    Plantologist and Pluvora, trained on the same nine

  • 90.3%

    top-1 disease detection across 64 classes

  • 2 signed partners

Why this works

Four things that hold for every crop and every client.

We check the ground

Somebody walks out and looks. Every alert gets checked in the field, blind, and so do places the model said were fine, because otherwise you never find out what it missed. Each model is scored on both.

Plant by plant

A satellite pixel covers several plants and the soil between them, so a block average quietly hides the one tree that is dying. We keep a record for each plant instead: where it is, how it has done, what has been done to it.

Open data first, then our own

We can tell you a surprising amount about a farm before setting foot on it, from public satellite, terrain and weather records. Then we come out, and field checks, drones and sensors fill in everything open data cannot see.

Tested on our land first

We own our land in Tondela, which means we can afford to be wrong on it. Every new tool and sensor runs there first, at our own cost, before it goes near a client's crop.

What we measure

Five layers, all joined on the same plant, season after season. The join is the point: any one of them on its own tells you very little.

  1. DNA

    Genetic profiling where it changes a decision: variety and rootstock identity for growers, whole genomes on our research crop.

  2. Soil

    Moisture, temperature and drainage, logged through the season and modelled from the terrain.

  3. Canopy

    Satellite, drone and ground imaging of vigour, stress and phenology, plant by plant.

  4. Climate

    On-site and regional weather with forecasts, so alerts arrive before conditions turn.

  5. Chemistry

    Lab confirmation of disease, and assays at harvest, closing the loop between prediction and outcome.

One company, two engines

Our research farm is where the technology is tested. The platform is what growers use.

Research farm · our land

Agriculture that trains

Our own land in Tondela, where tools and sensors get tried before anyone else has to live with them. Once licensed, its outdoor medical cannabis crop funds the science and produces records no one can buy.

Platform · running since October 2026

Intelligence that scales

The same tools, pointed at other growers' crops: farm records, irrigation intelligence and disease caught early. It started with our first client pilot.

Where we are

Updated October 2026

Clients
First client pilot running since October 2026, using our tools on a commercial farm.
Technology
Plantologist and Pluvora are trained on nine crops. Plantologist detects disease from any camera, with 90.3% top-1 accuracy across 64 disease classes. Pluvora, the intelligence layer of Sprout Heavy, decides when to irrigate and when to act. Sprout Heavy uses Copernicus satellite data. Provenance tracing is in development.
Partners
Collaboration protocol signed with Universidade Politécnica de Viseu. Testbed agreement signed with ViTEB, Visabeira's test bed.
Recognition
One of five finalists in the AI Summit Barcelona 2026 Pitch Competition. Selected for 2080 Ventures' Global Startup Showcase 2026. Tech Foundry Portugal, deep-tech edition. Endorsed by AIRV.
Demand
Expressions of interest from international agri-groups covering about 40,000 hectares.
Research farm
Freehold land in Tondela. INFARMED cultivation licence application filed, not yet issued. Letter of intent from an EU-GMP manufacturer for the farm's output.
Funding
Bootstrapped by the founders, friends and family. Now raising our first external round.
Next
First licensed field season on our research farm planned for 2027, subject to the licence.

How we work with people

Growers first, and everyone who helps us get there.

Growers and estates

Start with a short pilot: a first map of your farm from open data, checked on the ground, with our tools running on your land. You see what we get right and what we miss, then we decide together whether to run a full season.

Research and breeding partners

We are building a genetic and environmental record that tracks genotype, phenotype and conditions plant by plant. We welcome research collaborations, joint programmes and field trials under formal agreement.

Investors

We are building the intelligence layer for high-value crops, with a client pilot running and our own land to test on. Write to us for the deck.

Pharmaceutical buyers

Once our INFARMED licence is issued, our research farm will grow outdoor medical cannabis flower to EU-GACP, aiming at EU-GMP compatibility through controlled post-harvest curing. Talk to us about supply.
