About Solum :

Solum is creating new technology to make the business of agriculture simpler and more productive. We develop software, analysis services, and new soil measurements to help growers and their advisors manage farms efficiently, improve crop yields, and optimize use of inputs.

The company is backed by Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Google Ventures. Our team of 25 people are experts from a broad set of disciplines software development, data science, chemistry, physics, agronomy, and business.

Since the introduction of precision farming technology and techniques over 15 years ago, advanced growers and their advisors have generated significant volumes of geospatial data about their soils, crops, and yields.
