Nave Analytics, founded in June 2021, operates as a data coherence hub focused on the agricultural technology sector. The company provides data-driven solutions to de-risk and inform irrigation decisions for agriculture professionals. It was co-founded by CEO Jessica Korinek, an agronomist with 12 years of industry experience; CTO Dr. Val Kovalsky, a geospatial scientist with a background in modernizing NASA's satellite imagery archives and developing irrigation recommendation services at Climate, LLC; and COO Bradley Griggs, who has over 15 years of experience in developing digital water management tools and prior startup experience at HydroBio. The founding team's collective experience in digital agriculture, field research, and water sustainability directly informs the company's mission.
The core of Nave Analytics' business is a hardware-free platform that offers near real-time irrigation analytics. By fusing satellite imagery, weather data, and telemetry from irrigation equipment, the system provides comprehensive soil moisture data without requiring physical in-field sensors. This approach allows the company to deliver field-wide insights that can fill gaps left by traditional sensor coverage, which is often limited to specific points. The company's main products, NaveGrow and NavePlant, deploy virtual soil moisture probes to generate 3-D maps of water content, helping farmers and agronomists optimize water use, plan planting windows, and improve crop yields. This service is designed to be cost-effective and globally scalable, with a pricing model intended to be more affordable than a standard agronomist field visit.
Nave Analytics primarily serves farmers, agronomists, and agricultural service providers. Its business model operates on a data-as-a-service (DaaS) basis, providing crucial data feeds and decision support tools. The company also establishes revenue streams through a dealer program, called NaveNavigators, which empowers agricultural dealers to sell, deploy, and support its irrigation solutions. Having secured pre-seed funding, Nave Analytics is focused on advancing its software, funding research and development, and expanding its commercial operations from the United States to global markets.
