Overview
Gratheon develops open, modular robotic beehive as a data service for ๐จ๐ปโ๐ Semi-professional beekeepers to save bees ๐, improve efficiency and scale beekeeping. Globally we increase food security through precise pollination.
Elevator pitchโ
Problemโ
Did you know that on average 20% to 40 % of bee colonies die every year. They die from hunger, ๐ฆ Varroa Mite Infestations, late ๐งถ Swarming or because beekeeper was too lazy to lift heavy beehives to inspect them every 2 weeks.
Solutionโ
My name is Artjom we at Gratheon develop a new type of beehive that inspects the bees automatically. It consists of 3 devices that send data about beehive and an app that analyzes weight, images and video with AI and alerts the user to improve awareness and prevent collapse.
Team and tractionโ
We are targeting ๐จ๐ปโ๐ semi-professional beekeepers in Europe and offer SaaS.
We are a small team are engineers and researchers from companies like Pipedrive, Clarifai, Fits.me, Taltech. We are open source and had lots of volunteers. We have around 200 registered users.
Askโ
By our calculation the market opportunity for a single device is over 150M ARR euros in Europe alone. We are raising 40 thousands euros in pre-seed angel investments to bootstrap our product. Join us to help 2 million beekeepers and their cute & fuzzy bees.
