Elevator pitch for the investors ๐Ÿ’ถโ€‹

๐Ÿ“ข Do you like honey or apples? 5 years ago I became a beekeeper to improve pollination of my garden and to take care of the super organisms of bees.

Soon enough I understood that bees can ๐Ÿงถ Swarm and get ๐Ÿฆ€ Varroa Mite Infestations. To manage that, I had to lift heavy beehives every week to inspect and treat bees, otherwise they would get weak and die over the winter. Losing a colony is not just 300 euros of monetary loss, its also a personal failure. 20% to 40 % of colonies die every year.

Imagine a new type of modular robotic beehive that inspects the bees and ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿš€ semi-professional beekeepers see colony development over time automatically. This allows to save time, travel to the field and scale precise pollination, giving 40% more crop yields to farmers.

We are engineers from companies like Pipedrive, Clarifai, Fits.me and we are raising 1M pre-seed investments for 2 years of runway. Angels are also welcome. Join us to help 2 million beekeepers.
