One farm record,
trusted by everyone
Crop-health monitoring that becomes a verified farm record — trusted for credit, cover and trade.
The problem
570 million farms are invisible.
Small farms can't be verified continuously and affordably. The farmer loses first, then everyone who could have helped.

Founder & CEO
Satheesh Paddolker
Built centres of excellence at Crédit Agricole CIB and Turquoise Hill Resources (Rio Tinto). Designed microloan models taught at SMU Singapore. Web3 supply chain mentor at CBS Copenhagen. Then shipped FarmHawk — 14 applications on one core, 7 countries, almost entirely founder-funded.
Why now
Four forces are converging.
Free imagery, cheap AI, regulatory deadlines, and a $200B capital gap — the conditions that make farm-level intelligence inevitable.
Imagery
Sentinel-2 satellite imagery is open and free — what cost millions a decade ago costs nothing today.
AI analysis
Crop-specific AI models that required research teams can now run at pennies per parcel per week.
Compliance
EU Deforestation Regulation demands plot-level geolocation for every commodity import. Unmapped farms get dropped from supply chains.
Capital gap
Smallholder credit demand is growing but lenders still can't monitor the fields they finance. The data layer is missing.
