AgZen Closes $10M Series B Amid Rapid Adoption of Its RealCoverage® System

AgZen, the MIT spinout focused on droplet-level control in agricultural spraying, has raised $10 million in Series B funding. The round was led by returning investor DCVC Bio and included participation from Material Impact and new impact investor Astanor Ventures. The company also announced a partnership with Syngenta AG alongside a strategic investment from Syngenta Group Ventures.

How RealCoverage® Works

AgZen's RealCoverage® system measures how much spray reaches leaf surfaces as sprayers move through fields at operating speeds of up to 18 miles per hour. It can detect droplets as small as 150 microns, capturing data every few inches and delivering real-time recommendations to improve application efficiency.
