IntelinAir

IntelinAir is an agricultural data analytics company providing crop intelligence to farmers and agricultural retailers. The company was co-founded in 2014 by serial entrepreneur Al Eisaian, alongside Naira Hovakimyan and Greg Rose. Eisaian, who has a background in electrical engineering and co-founded several tech companies including Integrien (acquired by VMWare) and LowerMyBills.com (acquired by Experian), served as the initial CEO. In January 2022, Tim Hassinger, a former CEO of Dow AgroSciences and Lindsay Corporation with deep roots in the agriculture industry, took over as CEO and President. Eisaian remains on the board of directors.

The company's core product is AGMRI, a crop intelligence platform that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze high-resolution aerial imagery from fixed-wing aircraft, satellites, and drones, along with data from farm equipment and weather reports. The platform provides farmers with actionable "Smart Alerts" delivered as push notifications, identifying potential yield-limiting issues such as uneven emergence, weed pressure, nutrient deficiencies, and disease outbreaks before they might be visible to the naked eye. This allows for timely intervention, improved operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making throughout the growing season for crops like corn and soybeans. The platform also offers AGMRI Enterprise, which is tailored for agricultural retailers to manage their customers' fields.

IntelinAir operates on a business-to-business model, serving farmers and agricultural retailers primarily in the U.S. Midwest. Its headquarters was relocated from California to Indianapolis to be closer to its client base. The company generates revenue reported at $5 million and has raised a total of $24.5 million in funding over multiple rounds, including a $20 million Series B round in September 2021. This funding has supported the scaling of its AGMRI platform and team expansion. Recently, Intelinair announced an integration with CNH's digital platforms (AFS Connect and MyPLM Connect), allowing for more streamlined data sharing for customers using Case IH and New Holland equipment.
