UK agritech startup Cordon Technologies has closed the first close of a £1 million funding round led by British Design Fund.
Cordon is developing a precision spraying system whose Loop platform adjusts the concentration of multiple treatments simultaneously and in real time, with the aim of reducing pesticide and fertilizer use while improving accuracy and efficiency.
Early commercial traction is in the UK vineyard sector, with the company planning to expand into vineyards across Europe and into additional crop categories.
