The Evolution of Agi3
Need for better technology in the Agri Insurance space
Our founders observed the need for better technology in the Agri Insurance space and understood how this lack of progress is impacting farmers, with lower overall coverage and the inability to tailor coverage to their increasingly complex needs.
Partnership with AIRM Consulting
A strategic partnership was formed with AIRM Consulting, the industry’s first agriculture-focused full-stack artificial intelligence company. AIRM Consulting has spent more than a decade creating artificial intelligence models specific to agriculture.
Agi3 was formed
In 2021 a leadership team was established that includes almost a century of cross-industry expertise, from agriculture, risk management and technology.
