Bright Yeti

Revolutionizing farming, on earth and in space

About Bright Yeti

Bright Yeti is helping corn and soybean farmers grow bigger crops with fewer chemicals. Our product boosts crop health and outperforms the status quo by as much as 90%. Our end customers are farmers, and they purchase our seed treatments via seed distributors, an existing purchasing channel.

The Bright Yeti team has backgrounds from NASA, Abbott Medical, and Baker, and we are leading the next revolution in agriculture by bringing electrophysiology to the farm. Electrophysiology stands to improve the global industry on a scale not seen since the commercialization of synthetic fertilizer.

Problem statement

Farmers waste billions of dollars on chemical fertilizers every year. And when crops struggle to grow in the field, farmers double this waste by replanting. Chemicals are expensive, harm climate and the farmers land, and ruin our water resources. Farmers are tired of taking all the risk and getting screwed on the reward.

Bright Yeti is now conducting paid field trials on a recurring, treatment subscription basis. Partner farms committed to multi-year agreements, demonstrating strong, repeatable demand for our technology.

March 2022

Version 1.0 Launched - 5x faster than Beta

Product version 1.0 is complete and farmers are eagerly implementing systems. We made engineering refinements to simplify the manufacture, packaging, and deployment. The system is now 95% autonomous, loading seed is 5x faster, and customer training only takes 15 minutes.

November 2021

Independent Testing Complete

Our Contract Research Organization (CRO) results are in: we aimed for a 5 bushel per acre increase in yields and crushed our goal: 15.5!

April 2021

Launched Beta

After successful lab tests, we’re ready for testing in the field. The team moved to Iowa to work onsite at a farm and embed ourselves into their operations. We spent weeks with the farmers to experience their pain points, and test how our technology can fit into their operations.
