About Regeno

Regeno is a financial technology company focused on the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom, providing data-driven tools to facilitate the transition to regenerative farming practices. The company was founded by Sven Poppelmann, who serves as CEO and has a background in both farming and technology, including experience at Farmdrop connecting ethical food producers with consumers. He is joined by CTO Alan Cole and Founders Associate James Harrop.

Regeno's core offering is a platform that simplifies farm compliance and unlocks financial benefits for farmers. A key feature is the AI-powered 'Farmwalk' tool, which allows farmers to capture photos, videos, and notes during their regular farm inspections. The AI automatically tags and files this evidence for various compliance schemes like the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), Countryside Stewardship (CS), and Red Tractor, saving significant administrative time. This collected data is then used to generate a 'RegenScore,' a proprietary metric from 0-100 that quantifies a farm's regenerative practices. A higher RegenScore can unlock better interest rates and cashback rewards on loans through Regeno's network of partner lenders. The company acts as an introducer to these lenders, earning fees from successful loan arrangements.

Beyond its compliance and finance tools for individual farmers, Regeno also provides a management platform for land agents and consultants to oversee multiple client farms from a single dashboard. The company has a strong focus on data security and is certified as 'Farm Data Safe,' ensuring farmers retain ownership and control over their data. Regeno also engages the wider community through initiatives like 'Adopt-a-Hectare' and a 'Farm Funding Marketplace', which allow individuals and investors to directly support farmers transitioning to regenerative agriculture. The company's stated mission is to regenerate 1 million hectares of UK farmland by 2030.
