CropMind Inc (Techstars '25)

This is exactly what we’re building ! Emmet, and it means everything to have you out in the rows showing Sonoma growers what’s possible. One GoPro pass at budbreak turns into a full vine inventory and the foundation for yield prediction, just the camera already in a grower’s pocket. Grateful for the partnership with RESERVOIR and Sonoma County Winegrowers

When your growers start telling the story for you, you know you are building something real. Jacqueline (Jacq) Kemp, Franca- Franca/Therapy Vineyards & Inn and Foxtrot Wines, recently joined BC Food & Wine Radio to talk about how Canadian wineries are using AI to fight climate change and crop loss. Listen to the conversation to learn about how CropMind's technology has been useful to her operation. Jacq is not just a client. She is one of the most experienced and respected voices on the Naramata Bench, and hearing her speak about the value of block-level data and frost intelligence in her own words, on a public platform, means more to us than any marketing campaign we could run. This is exactly the problem CropMind was built to solve. BC growers are facing increasingly unpredictable seasons, tighter margins, and weather events that demand faster, better-informed decisions. Give the episode a listen. The full conversation is recorded live from the deck at Poplar Grove Winery on the Naramata Bench, which is about as BC as it gets. Link to the episode here - https://lnkd.in/g63HGwrk. Thank you, Jacq, for your trust, your candour, and for championing this conversation publicly. It means everything to this team. #CropMind #BCWine #OkanaganValley #NaramataBench #Agritech #VineyardIntelligence #AcceleratedWithGoogle #ClimateTech #CanadianWine #FrostProtection

We have some news. CropMind will be at the 2026 Google for Startups Accelerator Demo Day on Tuesday, May 26. Demo Day is the final showcase for the Google for Startups Accelerator: Canada cohort, and it brings together founders, partners, and the broader startup community to see what this year's companies have built. We are proud to be among them. Being part of this cohort has sharpened how we think about building, scaling, and delivering real value to the growers and winery operators who depend on our platform every season. The Accelerator pushed us, and we are better for it. Tomorrow, we get to show what we have built. If you are attending Demo Day, come find us. If you are following along from afar, watch this space because we will be sharing what we presented and what comes next. A big thank you to Iran Karimian and the entire Google for Startups and Google for Developers team. Thank you for the opportunity, the support, and the community. This has meant a great deal to our team. The best is still ahead. Damilare O. Odumosu, M.Eng. and the CropMind team. #AcceleratedWithGoogle #GoogleCanada #GoogleForStartups #CropMind #BCTech #Agritech #CanadianStartups #DemoDay

Throwback to Penticton, November 2025. A room full of the right people, great food, outstanding wine, and one conversation that mattered: how BC growers can move through every season with more confidence and less guesswork. This evening in #Penticton was one of those nights that reminded us why we do what we do. People were not sitting across a boardroom table. They were in the room with us, glasses in hand, talking honestly about the challenges of growing in the Okanagan and what better data could mean for their operations. That is the kind of conversation CropMind was built for. We are deeply grateful to the voices who helped make the evening what it was: Josh Ravell, Maverick Estate Winery, for bringing the perspective of a grower who knows this valley intimately. Jacqueline (Jacq) Kemp, Franca- Franca/Therapy Vineyards & Inn and Foxtrot Wines, for championing precision viticulture and pushing us to build something that actually works in the field. John Pullen, Rainmaker Wines, for the candour and the questions that made the conversation richer. Events like this one are where trust gets built. We left Penticton with new relationships, sharper thinking, and a renewed sense of purpose. More of these to come. Watch this space. By the way, what happened in Penticton doesn't have to stay in Penticton. We are always happy to keep the conversation going, book a demo at https://cropmind.ca/ or email us at info @cropmind.ca #CropMind #BCWine #OkanaganValley #VineyardIntelligence #Agritech #Penticton #ThrowbackThursday

A new Deloitte report commissioned by Wine Growers Canada just put a number on something Canadian vineyard operators have always felt in their bones. Canada's wine ecosystem contributes $10.1 billion to GDP and sustains nearly 100,000 jobs annually. That's not just an agricultural story. It's a precision farming opportunity hiding in plain sight. But here's what the report actually reveals for growers: Canada needs to produce and sell an additional 54 million litres of wine annually to hit a 51% domestic market share. That means roughly 16,000 new acres under vine, more efficient production, and better block-level decision-making from season one. (If you're interested in the full report, you can get it here - https://lnkd.in/gMymKG6s) One thing is very clear, though: the industry isn't short on ambition. It's short on data that arrives early enough to act on. That's what we built CropMind for. 97% yield estimation accuracy vs 60% when you do it manually. Block-level visibility during the flowering window, when decisions about barrels, labour, and logistics are still open. The Deloitte numbers confirm the stakes. The growing season is the window to act, and we are always ready to talk whenever you are.

Happy Victoria Day to all our Canadian friends, partners, and growers across Canada and beyond. Today we pause, appreciate the long weekend, and come back tomorrow ready to keep building something we are proud of. From the entire CropMind team, enjoy the day. #VictoriaDay #CropMind #BCTech #CanadianStartup

A new analysis from Wine Growers Canada highlights the significant opportunity ahead for the Canadian wine sector if longstanding barriers impacting wineries are addressed. The report estimates the Canadian wine industry already contributes approximately $10 billion in economic activity and supports nearly 100,000 jobs nationwide, while also identifying substantial potential for future growth. Wineries across Canada continue to play an important role not only in agriculture, but also in tourism, hospitality, entrepreneurship, and local economies. Wine Growers British Columbia is proud to continue working alongside industry partners to help advance these important national discussions. Read the report https://lnkd.in/gMymKG6s

Day 3 at Web Summit Vancouver. The energy at our booth yesterday was nothing short of incredible. We have spent the last three days talking to founders, investors, and growers from across the world, demoing our Vineyard Intelligence platform, and having the kinds of conversations that remind you exactly why you started building in the first place. The CropMind team has shown up and shown out. There is still one more day to go. If you are at the Vancouver Convention Centre tomorrow, come find us at our booth. We would love to show you what block-level frost intelligence looks like for your vineyard in a live demo, right there on the floor. Can not make it in person? Book a demo at https://cropmind.ca/ or email us at info @cropmind.ca, and we will bring the experience to you. Vancouver, it has been a privilege. We are not done yet. #WebSummitVancouver #CropMind #BCTech #Agritech #VineyardIntelligence #Startups #Vancouver
