SeeTree is an Israel-based ag-tech company founded in 2017 that provides a per-tree intelligence platform to help large-scale tree growers optimize crop health, productivity, and operations using AI, drones, satellites, IoT sensors, and weather data.[1][2][3][5] It serves tier-1 agribusinesses managing orchards and forests, solving the problem of inefficient, non-digitized tree farming that wastes resources like water and chemicals while reducing yields from issues like parasites, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies.[1][4][5] With over 400 million trees (about 1 million acres) on its platform across the US, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and a development center in Ukraine, SeeTree has raised more than $60 million and integrates with systems like SAP S/4HANA for end-to-end data-driven decisions that boost ROI and environmental impact.[3][5][6]
The platform delivers tree-specific insights, such as health scores, parasite detection (e.g., bindweed), yield predictions, and disease alerts like HLB, enabling precise interventions.[1][4] Growth momentum includes plans to double trees and acres in 2024, reach 1 billion trees by early 2025, expand to crops like soy, and grow in North America, LATAM, Ukraine, and APAC via recent funding.[1][5]
SeeTree was founded in 2017 in Tel Aviv, Israel, by CEO Israel Talpaz and co-founders who recognized the lack of digitization in tree farming, where growers lose profits, food production suffers, and the environment is harmed due to inefficient resource use.[1][4][5] Talpaz, with expertise in ag-tech, started with citrus groves for the world's largest growers, leveraging military-grade drones, multi-spectral imaging, AI, and computer vision to create detailed per-tree reports on health and productivity—hence the name "SeeTree."[4][5] Early traction came from deploying in the US and Brazil, expanding to almonds, olives, and hazelnuts, and building operations in multiple countries while raising over $60 million, including a $17.5 million round to scale its "tree operating system."[4][5]
Pivotal moments include servicing 400 million trees globally and recent integrations like SAP Store availability, which broadened its reach to enterprise agribusinesses.[3][5]
SeeTree rides the ag-tech wave of precision agriculture and digital transformation, digitizing tree crops amid climate pressures, labor shortages, and food security demands that amplify the need for data-driven farming.[1][2][5] Timing is ideal as drone/AI adoption surges in orchards/forestry—markets underserved by general ag tools—with favorable forces like falling sensor costs, satellite advancements, and AI maturity enabling per-tree granularity at scale.[4][5] It influences the ecosystem by partnering with giants (e.g., SAP), serving top growers, and pioneering "intelligence-per-tree" that could extend to forests and new crops, accelerating specialization in ag drones and full-stack solutions over hardware-only providers.[3][4]
SeeTree is poised to hit 1 billion trees by early 2025, doubling scale while adding soy and advanced detections for diseases/yields, fueled by funding for North America, LATAM, APAC, and R&D.[1] Trends like AI-computer vision evolution, IoT-tractors integration, and sustainability mandates will propel its growth, potentially evolving it into a dominant platform for Tree Farming 4.0 amid global ag digitization. As it transforms inefficient groves into optimized operations, SeeTree exemplifies how per-tree intelligence unlocks the "holy grail" of farming ROI, starting from its citrus roots to a billion-tree future.[1][5]
SeeTree has raised $63.0M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $18.0M Series C in January 2024.
