Empowering Growers with Data
The Future of Food
Starts at the Root
innov8.ag is building the data infrastructure that helps specialty crop growers produce higher-quality food with fewer resources. We're looking for mission-aligned partners who share our vision.
Start a ConversationThe Opportunity
Agriculture Is Overdue for Its Data Revolution
The world's specialty crop growers — the people who grow your blueberries, cherries, apples, and wine grapes — are navigating unprecedented complexity. Labor costs are surging. Regulatory requirements like FSMA are expanding. Weather volatility is increasing. And margins are thinning.
Yet most farms still operate on intuition, paper, and spreadsheets. The data they generate every day — from every pound picked, every soil sample, every harvest decision — goes largely uncaptured, unconnected, and unused.
innov8.ag exists to change that. We turn passive on-farm data into operational clarity and financial confidence — connecting the dots from field to cooler to grocery shelf.
Why Now
Converging Forces, Singular Moment
Several macro trends are accelerating demand for what innov8.ag delivers. The companies that establish trust and data infrastructure with growers now will define the next era of agriculture.
Food Safety & Traceability
FDA's FSMA Rule 204 is creating urgent demand for field-to-shelf traceability. Growers need digital systems — not binders — to stay compliant and keep their buyer relationships.
Climate Volatility
Frost events, heat domes, and unpredictable seasons are making data-driven decisions a matter of survival, not luxury. Yield forecasting and soil health monitoring are no longer optional.
Labor Crisis
Labor represents up to 60% of specialty crop costs. Our FairPick and FairTrak platforms give growers real-time visibility into productivity, compliance, and workforce optimization.
Global Expansion
Peru is investing in over 1 million hectares of new irrigation infrastructure. Chile and Mexico are modernizing their operations. innov8.ag is already positioned in Latin America with multilingual capabilities.
AI & Autonomy
Autonomous platforms, satellite imagery, and predictive AI are ready for production agriculture — but only if the underlying data infrastructure exists. We're building that layer.
Consolidation & Trust
Growers are overwhelmed by point solutions. They want a trusted partner who curates the best technologies and delivers integrated, actionable insights — not more dashboards.
What We've Built
A Platform Growers Already Trust
Through the acquisition of 2nd Sight Bioscience — a company with over a decade of harvest data across specialty crops — innov8.ag now delivers a comprehensive suite spanning labor and harvest tracking (FairPick, FairTrak), inventory management and FSMA-compliant traceability (StockTrak), soil health mapping, yield forecasting, crop monitoring, and strategic advisory services.
Our customers include growers, processors, breeders, and industry councils across the United States and Latin America. We operate in blueberries, cherries, apples, wine grapes, and potatoes — with an architecture built to expand across any specialty crop.
We don't just sell technology. We earn trust in the field, pair proven tools with expert guidance, and deliver insights that drive real financial outcomes — turning data into dollars for operations of every size.
Leadership
Built by Operators, Not Just Technologists
Steve Mantle — Founder & CEO
12 years at Microsoft in product management and M&A strategy for Azure technologies. Former network engineer. Now six years deep in the fields — literally — building data infrastructure for specialty crop growers from Walla Walla, Washington.
Steve's deep understanding of the agricultural community comes from hands-on work with growers, agronomists, breeders, and industry organizations like the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council and Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission — and from forging research collaborations with leading land-grant universities including Washington State University, Oregon State University, Rutgers University, and the University of Florida.
Who We're Looking For
Partners, Not Just Capital
We're building something that matters — and we want to do it with people who feel the same way. We're drawn to individuals and organizations who bring more than capital: perspectives, relationships, and a genuine stake in the future of food.
Food security is personal. You grew up on a farm, know someone who runs one, or care deeply about where food comes from and who grows it.
Sustainability isn't a buzzword. You believe that farming smarter — with fewer inputs and better data — is both good business and good stewardship.
You think in decades. Agriculture moves in seasons, not sprints. You value companies that build trust slowly and compound value over time.
You bring signal. Industry relationships, domain expertise, market insights, or operational experience that helps us serve growers better.
You believe in the mission. Empowering growers with data isn't just a tagline — it's a conviction that better information creates better food, better livelihoods, and better land.
You value transparency. We operate openly, share our numbers, and communicate honestly about what's working, what's hard, and where we're headed.
