FarmQA Closes $4M Seed Round to Expand Agronomic Intelligence Platform

Farm management software startup doubles ARR, expands to 37 million acres under management

FarmQA

As digital tools reshape agriculture from soil to shelf, FarmQA has emerged as a critical ally to the professionals who advise the world’s growers. Now, on the heels of a year marked by surging growth and expanding acreage under management, the agronomic intelligence platform has closed a $4 million oversubscribed Seed Preferred round to fuel its next phase of scale.

The round was led by gener8tor 1889, a North Dakota-based fund affiliated with the national venture firm gener8tor, with participation from O'Leary Ventures — via its Wonder Fund North Dakota — and Badlands Capital. These investors are placing a bet not just on a platform, but on a shift in how agronomy is practiced and delivered.

The Fargo, North Dakota-based startup has seen strong traction over the past year, doubling its annual recurring revenue (ARR) and growing from 20 million to 37 million acres under management. The platform is now used across multiple continents by agronomic consultants who support growers with field scouting, soil sampling, fertility planning, and prescription writing.

“The funding will allow us to continue investing in our core product, pursue strategic acquisitions, and expand globally,” said CEO Kris Poulson. “Our goal is to give agronomic advisors better tools to support growers operating in increasingly complex and volatile conditions.”

Originally developed to meet the specific needs of agronomic consultants rather than growers, FarmQA’s platform focuses on digitizing and integrating the critical workflows advisors manage across large portfolios of clients. Its tools help reduce manual data entry, increase field visibility, and improve the speed and quality of decision-making.

Ben Stanley, Principal at gener8tor 1889, said the platform addresses a long-standing gap in agtech: “FarmQA helps the people closest to the field make smarter, faster decisions. Their momentum and measurable customer outcomes make them a standout in the sector.”

Investor Kevin O’Leary, who backed the round through his North Dakota-focused Wonder Fund, positioned the company as part of a broader transformation in food production. “We back companies solving meaningful problems — and FarmQA is building critical infrastructure for the future of agriculture,” he said in a statement.

The funding comes as demand for precision agronomy continues to grow, driven by climate variability, tight labor markets, and increasing input costs. FarmQA plans to expand its AI-powered analytics and enhance its platform’s integration capabilities to meet that demand, while also exploring M&A opportunities to broaden its service offerings.

While many digital ag platforms target growers directly, FarmQA is focused on enabling the agronomists who act as their trusted advisors — a go-to-market strategy that may prove to be a competitive advantage as the agronomic services sector digitizes.

With this latest capital injection, FarmQA is aiming to cement its position as a go-to solution for independent consultants, co-ops, and agronomy firms navigating the next generation of farm decision-making.
