Most software written for farming still runs on screens and forms designed for the office. So the details that matter, disease sightings, spray decisions, scouting notes, crew updates, stay in notebooks, in messaging threads, or in someone's memory until the end of the day.
Tellia is the interface instead. A crew member calls, or sends a voice note, a WhatsApp message, a photo, a text, in their own words and their own language. Tellia captures it, structures it, and connects it to the right field, crop and crew. No template to fill, no app to open.
The ag industry keeps facing the same challenge: the people who spend their days in the field spend their evenings at a keyboard. That was never a data problem. It was an interface problem.

The round
Tellia has raised a $5M pre-seed, led by Revent, with participation from Grey Silo Ventures, Jeriko, and Fund F.
Within two months of onboarding, 80% of US field teams on Tellia use it every day. We're live across 1M acres, with deployments at Campos Brothers Farms and the Duckhorn wineries in the US, and in Europe with the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin, the cooperative Val de Gascogne and plant breeder KWS Saat.
The round goes into three things: pushing the voice AI further, building the agentic layer that sits between the field and the rest of the agtech stack, and growing the team in the US and Europe.
