Funding details
The company has now raised about NZ$5.15 million since November 2024. The new capital will support a beef offering due in 2027, dairy development, satellite measurement, and international growth. Additional investors included Antipodean Capital, Flying Kiwi Angels, Enterprise Angels, and Angel HQ.
Farmer adoption
Aimer Farming launched its AIMER platform in 2023. It now serves more than 800 dairy farms in New Zealand, Chile, and the UK. Farmers have completed over 500,000 pasture scans using AIMER Vision.
How the platform works
AIMER combines smartphone measurement, satellite measurement, and predictive modeling. It helps farmers understand pasture availability and forecast growth. Many dairy farmers include AIMER Satellite in their subscription for remote pasture monitoring.
The company added Casey Molloy as Chief Operating Officer and Shane Nolan as Chief Revenue Officer. It also added Nitika Shah as Head of Growth and Product Marketing. International expansion will proceed through selected markets and partnerships.
