SOMERVILLE, Mass., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - AgZen, Inc., a company pioneering AI-powered precision spraying announced it added more than 200 dealer locations in Q2 2026, rapidly assembling one of the strongest dealer networks in precision ag. The additions give AgZen the commercial reach to bring RealCoverage(R), its breakthrough coverage-intelligence system, to growers across North America at scale. The new dealer partners include AgRevolution, AgriVision Equipment Group, AHW, Goldman Equipment, Greenway, Growers Services, KanEquip, Kibble Equipment, McIntosh & Son, Platte Valley Equipment, PrairieLand Partners, Sloan Implement, P&C Ag and Valley Plains Equipment, spanning 200+ locations across two continents, with more expected to join in the coming weeks. "What excites me most isn't how fast this happened - it's the extensive precision ag capabilities these dealers bring for both new and old equipment," said Darin Krantz, Chief Sales Officer of AgZen. "We now have elite dealers representing John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, AGCO, and more, all standing behind RealCoverage. When equipment partners across competing brands independently reach the same conclusion, that's the strongest signal you can get that growers need this technology. Dealers sign on when a product is easy to sell, delivers a fast return, and makes their growers more successful - RealCoverage does all three, no matter what logo is on the hood for both new and used sprayers or whose product is in the tank." RealCoverage delivers a 3.3x improvement in coverage, putting more of every application onto the leaf. For growers, that translates into 30-50% savings in input costs, with payback typically in under a year. For the large agricultural retailers that run custom-application fleets, the same technology also drives operational efficiency - a 30-50% reduction in carrier volume that lets crews refill less, cover more acres per day, and deliver cleaner results with fewer resprays. "We're excited about AgZen's technology and the tremendous value it can add for our commercial applicators and farmers," said Stacy Anthony, CEO of AgRevolution. "What I love most is that they've removed all the reasons to say no. The way AgZen has thought about the dealership program shows they're scaling the right way - it's not just about the product; it's about making it successful. The structure they've built does exactly that, and it makes RealCoverage very easy to want to carry." The dealer expansion adds to a period of rapid commercial and strategic momentum for AgZen. In March 2026, the company closed a $10 million Series B led by DCVC Bio, with participation from Material Impact, Astanor Ventures, and Syngenta Group Ventures. AgZen has forged partnerships with two of the largest companies in crop protection - Corteva, announced in October 2025, and Syngenta, announced in March 2026. AgZen's route to market now runs entirely through its dealer channel: 100% of its units are dealer-supported. The momentum positions AgZen to scale globally at a critical moment, as farmers worldwide face rising input costs and mounting pressure to apply crop protection products more precisely. By turning spray application into real-time intelligence, AgZen is building what crop protection has never had: an objective, leaf-level measure of how products perform in the field. Of the roughly $60 billion spent on crop protection products worldwide each year, how much chemical reaches the plant has always been anyone's guess. That visibility AgZen has enabled now spans the entire value chain, giving crop protection companies real-world data on how their chemistry performs, helping OEMs design better equipment, providing regulators with representative measures of application, and equipping dealers and retailers to prove value to the growers they serve. With a strong dealer network now in place, RealCoverage is positioned to become the connective tissue of modern crop protection. "For eight decades, crop protection has run largely on guesswork, with no reliable way to measure how much of an application actually reached the plant," said Vishnu Jayaprakash, CEO of AgZen. "We are taking off that blindfold. By making coverage measurable, we give the entire value chain an objective standard for what works, which is why demand for RealCoverage now extends well beyond the farm. Coverage intelligence is becoming foundational infrastructure for our industry, ensuring that every dollar finally counts." About AgZen AgZen is pioneering the future of agriculture through feedback optimization for inputs, using AI and advanced engineering to close the loop on every droplet and granule. The company raised $10 million in Series B funding in March 2026 and is scaling globally. Founded by agricultural innovators with deep roots in farming and engineering, AgZen is building foundational technology to track and optimize every chemical dollar spent in the field at the most fundamental level.

AgZen secures $10 million Series B to fuel rapid growth after accelerated adoption by growers & industry partners. March 13, 2026 12:00 ET | Source: AgZen Inc. SOMERVILLE, Mass., March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - AgZen, the MIT spinout bringing droplet-level control to agricultural spraying, today announced it has raised $10 million in Series B funding following a year of accelerated adoption that exceeded internal projections. In a single season, acreage deployed with its flagship RealCoverage(R) system expanded 15x, reaching nearly one million commercial acres in the U.S. For 2026, the company has already signed commitments covering more than 2 million acres across three continents.

"Seeing droplets on the leaf changes the conversation from speculation to quantification. That clarity, and the way industry leaders act on it, is fundamental..." The round was led by returning investor DCVC Bio and included participation from Material Impact and a new impact investor, Astanor Ventures. The company is also announcing a partnership with Syngenta AG alongside a strategic investment from Syngenta Group Ventures. "Quantifiable ROI drove our investment," said Justin Kern, Partner at DCVC Bio. "When growers can see exactly where every drop lands, behavior changes immediately. At scale, that knowledge begins to reshape how crop protection products work, how equipment is designed, and how performance is measured across the industry." "Farmers adopt technology when it is easy to use, reduces cost, and improves yield," said Peter Eckes, Operational Partner at Astanor. "That's exactly what we see with AgZen. The team has built a solution that helps growers get more value from every application while reducing unnecessary input use. For us as an impact investor, this is a practical example of innovation that aligns farmer economics with environmental responsibility, a clear win-win." AgZen's RealCoverage(R) measures how much spray reaches leaf surfaces as sprayers move through the field at operating speeds up to 18 miles per hour. The system can detect droplets as small as 150 microns, capturing data every few inches and delivering actionable recommendations to get more product on target and improve efficiency. For decades, application performance has been assumed. AgZen quantifies it and improves it in real time. Results have been immediate. Growers report cleaner fields, higher yields, and average chemical savings of up to 50 percent, with payback typically in under a year. "We expected growth," said Vishnu Jayaprakash, CEO of AgZen. "We did not expect acreage to expand 15x in a single season. Growers adopted the system faster than anticipated. What's been even more exciting is the buy-in from the broader industry, including crop protection companies and OEMs. We chose to accelerate our roadmap and scale to meet that momentum." As acreage scaled, interest has expanded beyond the farm. Major crop protection companies are now partnering with AgZen to better understand how products perform under commercial conditions. OEMs and retailers are also coming on board to close the loop between application and outcome. "Combining our expertise on interfacial physics, computer vision, and physical AI with Syngenta's expertise in crop protection and application, AgZen will unlock unprecedented efficiencies for the entire industry," said Kripa Varanasi, Chairman of AgZen and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. AgZen will use the capital primarily to accelerate product development after selling out its 2026 production allocation. The company plans to more than double the number of units in the field next year while strengthening dealer-supported deployments across three continents. As more systems operate across crops, geographies, and spray programs, the resulting knowledge and data becomes increasingly valuable. "Material Impact has been with AgZen since its earliest days because the team set out to solve one of the most persistent gaps in crop protection: the lack of visibility into what actually reaches the plant," said Paul Deninger, Operating Partner at Material Impact. "Seeing droplets on the leaf changes the conversation from speculation to quantification. That clarity, and the way industry leaders act on it, is fundamental to building a business with real economic and environmental impact." As coverage intelligence expands beyond 2 million acres in 2026, AgZen is positioning application efficiency as measurable infrastructure. With droplet-level knowledge and coverage recommendations now available at full operating speeds, application is no longer a black box. It becomes a performance layer capable of influencing chemistry development, equipment design, regulations and how value moves through the crop protection supply chain.
