Founders Story

Having all worked together at Australian grain broking and marketing pioneer Agfarm,
Emma Weston, Ben Reid and Bob McKay were looking to solve a bigger problem.

Experiencing first hand the inefficiencies in the agricultural supply chain, they set out to build a better way; powered by technology. With 90% of the global grain trade controlled by four companies, they knew the problem they were solving was going to require unwavering conviction from a dedicated team who were committed to leveling the field. 

Now seven years in, that team is global and consists of farmers, dynamic coders, finance innovators and creatives, building the digital and capital infrastructure agriculture businesses depend on.
