Beneficial-microbe seed treatments + carbon-credit marketplace for regenerative farmers. 30M+ acres enrolled.
§ Pitch deck breakdown
How Indigo Ag would pitch themselves.
Target customer
Row-crop farmers (corn, soy, wheat, cotton) wanting higher yields + drought tolerance, plus food + finance companies needing verified carbon offsets.
Problem they solve
Synthetic fertilizers + pesticides are depleting soil. Climate change threatens yields. Voluntary carbon credits are riddled with verification fraud.
Key differentiator
Microbial seed coatings (~10-15% yield uplift). Carbon by Indigo program pays farmers up to $40/ton for verified soil-sequestered carbon — backed by science + buyer demand.
Go-to-market strategy
Direct sales to row-crop farmers via local agronomists. Carbon marketplace pre-sells credits to F500 buyers (JPMorgan, Microsoft) committed to net zero.
