The sun is shining over VitalFields. TMT Investments announces it has put in a €100,000 convertible note giving Tallinn-based VitalFields a push into the new year to continue to develop their farm management solution. The company is run by CEO Martin Rand and CTO Vahur Meus.
Some of our readers may remember VitalFields by their old name, WeatherMe, when they participated in the pilot program of Estonia’s Startup Wiseguys accelerator starting spring of 2012. As WeatherMe their focus was to provide accurate weather modeling for a certain location for anyone, with some focus on farmers, but as they’ve fleshed out the product they’ve moved closer to a comprehensive farm management solution.
VitalFields now does two major functions for farmers. First, they help predict yields by tracking climate and weather patterns, while additionally modeling plant disease and growth phases. And secondly, they’ve built a farm management solution, doing everything from planning farm activities to stock management and P&L reports.
