Taranis flies drone 'missions' (service plans of 4-6 missions/season) producing leaf-level detections of stand count, weeds, insects, disease and nutrient deficiency; broadacre satellite monitoring with weather/precipitation layers. Ag Assistant is a generative-AI tool producing zone-level agronomy recommendations and season summaries. Yield Impact (May 2026) estimates bu/ac yield loss per detected threat on enrolled corn acres. Input relevance is via recommendations sold alongside retailers' crop-protection portfolios (Syngenta partnership), not an input marketplace. iOS/Android app plus web dashboard.
| What the AI does | Acts on your records — Ag Assistant generates zone-level recommendations from the farm's own Taranis imagery; sold through advisors. |
|---|---|
| Crops and regions | Corn and soybeans, US Midwest focus; Yield Impact corn-only for 2026 with soybeans planned 2027 |

Your data
| Who owns it, who sees it | Taranis grower page says customer data is protected by a 'multi-tiered security model'; a privacy/data-ownership policy was not retrievable this session, so ownership and sharing terms are not published here. |

| Can you leave with it? | ? Data export and deletion terms not yet researched; scheduled for the next review. |
The first line is our paraphrase of the vendor's policy; the linked document in Sources is what governs.
Who is behind it
| Company | Taranis |
|---|---|
| Ownership | Private, investor-backed — VC-backed private |
| What else they sell | farm-software-only company |
| Headquarters | Westfield/Carmel, IN (US) — Westfield/Carmel, IN, USA (global HQ moved to Westfield, IN in 2020; site footer lists Carmel, IN office) and Tel Aviv, Israel |
| Built and supported | Founded in Israel (R&D in Tel Aviv); US HQ and sales in Indiana; full-service drone data capture in US Midwest |
| Founded | 2015 |
| Funding and acquisitions | Series B $20M (2018); Series C $30M (July 2020, Vertex Growth/Kuok Group); Series D $40M (Sept 2022, led by Inven Capital) bringing total to approx. $100M. Strategic AI partnership with Syngenta Crop Protection announced 2025 and expanded Oct 2025 across the Midwest for 2026. |
| Status | Active. Go-to-market is retailer/advisor-first: vendor says it sells 'through agricultural retailers and advisors' with 100+ retail/advisor partners, and grower page directs farmers to 'FIND YOUR ADVISOR'; no direct-to-farmer purchase path or price is published, so a US farmer typically accesses Taranis via a participating retailer. |
