On this episode of Growing Business Aaron Niederhelman and Lindsay Poole speak with Louis Thiery, founder of Apitronics. A rising star in the agricultural Business Intelligence world, Louis and team have begun unlocking the future of farming through quantitative analysis and efficiency.

Apitronics is a start-up coming out of Somerville, MA. The company has created a product to measure information on farms through sensors. The sensors are put throughout the farm, working as a network to pull information together. This gives farmers the information they need to make the best decisions for their products.

Louis says his idea for the product came directly from a need he saw not being fulfilled in the industry. After graduating college, Louis moved out to Colorado to work on a farm. He wanted to learn more about where the food he was eating was coming from. Instead he observed that farmers lacked the technology needed to monitor variables on their farms.
