Slide 2 - Target Markets and Customer Segments

The slide outlines expansion into new markets like vineyards, berries, citrus, nuts, greenhouses, and row crops via partners, targeting segments such as farm operators, consultants, co-ops, and insurers. It addresses key challenges including labor scarcity, detection delays, and fragmented data, within a US specialty crops TAM exceeding $50B and pest management at 5-10%.

Target Markets and Customer Segments

Expand to vineyards, berries, citrus, nuts, greenhouses, row crops (partners)
Segments: farm operators, consultants, co-ops, insurers
Solves: labor scarcity, detection delays, fragmented data
TAM: US specialty crops $50B+, pest mgmt 5-10%

Slide 3 - Digital Value Creation Mechanisms

The slide "Digital Value Creation Mechanisms" outlines six key features driving platform value: Network Effects from user data improving heatmaps, Modularity via LEGO-like crop/pest modules, Generativity through APIs and a third-party marketplace, Data Learning with seasonal AI enhancements, Switching Costs from custom user setups, and an Ecosystem with partners like entomologists, co-ops, and insurers. Each feature is represented by an icon and concise description highlighting its role in creating digital value.

Slide 4 - Competitive Advantage and Defense

The slide highlights the company's competitive advantages, including a proprietary labeled dataset from years of field deployments, an end-to-end stack integrating hardware, AI, and recommendations, and a modular hardware ecosystem for rapid crop customization. It also outlines defenses against competitors, such as high barriers from unique data moats, deep field experience, and integration depth, reinforced by network effects, switching costs, and ongoing AI improvements.

Competitive Advantage and Defense

Our Advantages	Defenses & Barriers
Proprietary labeled dataset from years of field deployments. End-to-end stack integrates hardware, AI, and recommendations. Modular hardware ecosystem enables rapid customization across crops.	High barriers deter competitors: unique data moat, deep field experience, integration depth. Counter moves with network effects, switching costs, and continuous AI improvements.

Slide 5 - Revenue Model and Pricing

The slide outlines the revenue model through a table with components like Core Tiers (outcome-aligned subscriptions at Starter $X/ac and Pro $Y/ac), Add-ons (forecasting and scouting at +$Z/ac per module), and Expert Services (pay-per-review per incident). It also covers B2B Licenses (enterprise for co-ops and insurers), Marketplace (10-20% take rate on 3rd-party tools), and Incentives (discounts, bundles, onboarding, and pilots).

Revenue Model and Pricing

Component	Description	Pricing
Core Tiers	Outcome-aligned subscriptions	Starter $X/ac, Pro $Y/ac
Add-ons	Forecasting, scouting	+$Z/ac per module
Expert Services	Pay-per-review	Per incident/review
B2B Licenses	Co-ops, insurers	Enterprise licensing
Marketplace	3rd-party tools	10-20% take rate
Incentives	Bundles, onboarding, guarantees	Discounts & pilots
