Rhythmos is building the operating system for farming: turning agronomic knowledge and field data into plot-specific, executable workplans that tell farmers exactly what to do, when, and how.

Today, that knowledge lives in manual protocols and individual agronomists’ heads, with nothing to catch what falls through the cracks, and one missed or mistimed action can cost an entire season. Existing tools are not enough to close that gap: precision ag is expensive and narrow, and farm management software tracks records without prescribing action.

Rhythmos combines individual farm and plot protocols, agronomic best practices, up-to-date and historical field data, and collective farmer knowledge through CORE, its recommendation engine, generating a complete operational plan grounded in each farm’s own history and financial trade-offs. Every recommendation goes through the farmer’s review before execution: the agronomic intelligence is ours, the decision is always theirs.

Our mission is to preserve generational farming knowledge before it retires, put it directly into the hands of every grower, and give farms a practical path to transition toward regenerative practices without sacrificing operational precision.

Our vision is a world where every farm, regardless of size or access to expertise, operates with the precision of the best-run farms today, strengthening food security, farm resilience, and climate adaptation across the industry.

CapsiBreed is an agricultural biotechnology company developing climate-resilient, next-generation pepper varieties using advanced genome editing and precision breeding technologies. Our proprietary PepGEM™ (Pepper Gene Editing and Modification) platform integrates bioinformatics, molecular biology, CRISPR-based genome editing, and innovative plant transformation technologies to accelerate crop improvement.

Pepper production faces increasing challenges from climate change, including rising temperatures, drought, emerging diseases, and the need for more sustainable use of agricultural resources. CapsiBreed enables targeted improvement of elite pepper cultivars by modifying genes controlling key traits such as stress resilience, disease resistance, nutritional value, flavor, and shelf life—without compromising the characteristics valued by farmers, breeders, and consumers.

By overcoming the historical difficulty of genetically improving pepper, our technology dramatically shortens breeding timelines and enables the rapid development of superior varieties. Through partnerships with seed companies and growers, CapsiBreed aims to deliver climate-smart crops that improve agricultural productivity, reduce resource inputs, and strengthen global food security in a changing environment

Bestree is an Israeli AgTech company developing a molecular propagation platform for crops that are difficult to propagate at scale.

Many high-value crops, including avocado, cacao, nuts, and other woody plants, face a major bottleneck at the nursery stage: elite genetics exist, but producing uniform, disease-free, true-to-type plants reliably and at industrial scale remains slow, costly, and inconsistent. This limits growers’ ability to expand production, improve resilience, and adopt better plant material.

Bestree combines molecular markers, advanced tissue culture protocols, and data-driven propagation know-how to identify the optimal biological window for rooting and acclimatization. Our platform turns plant propagation from a trial-and-error process into a controlled, repeatable production system.

We are starting with avocado as our beachhead crop, where global demand for high-quality clonal rootstocks significantly exceeds supply. From there, the same platform can be expanded to additional recalcitrant crops with strong climate, food security, and commercial relevance.

Our goal is to industrialize plant propagation and help growers access better plants, faster, at scale

NanoSeedra is a deep-tech startup developing advanced seed-enhancement materials that strengthen germination, root development, and early plant growth under climate stress. Our technology is based on a proprietary class of engineered nanostructures designed to interact with the seed surface and improve its physiological response during the critical early stages of development.

These materials enhance water uptake, support stronger root formation, and help plants tolerate challenging conditions such as salinity, poor soils, and rapid climatic fluctuations. Across multiple laboratory and early field tests, seeds treated with NanoSeedra’s formulations demonstrate faster germination, increased vigor, and improved resilience compared to untreated controls.
By enhancing early plant strength, NanoSeedra reduces the need for fertilizers and chemical treatments, supporting lower agricultural emissions and more efficient resource use. The technology integrates seamlessly into existing seed-coating and priming processes, requires only small quantities of material, and is economically viable for both large and small-scale farming systems.
NanoSeedra is focused on enabling climate-smart agriculture, especially in regions facing soil degradation, salinity, and water scarcity. Our mission is to provide scalable, materials-based solutions that improve yield stability, support sustainable farming practices, and strengthen global food security — without relying on biological or genetically modified inputs.

Jacob-AI is an end-to-end Farm Intelligence Platform designed to make regenerative agriculture scalable for farmers. Our technology fuses advanced diagnostics with local ecological wisdom. Creating a farm digital-twin.

The system has three core components:

1. Explainable AI (XAI) Engine: This is our core differentiator. The AI engine does not function as a “black box.” It integrates the real-time diagnostic data with a digitized knowledge base of traditional farming wisdom (AKEM – Agricultural Knowledge and Ecological Mulching).

2. Multi-Source Data Fusion: We integrate farmer-provided, on-ground data with a wide array of technology sources, including satellite imagery, drones, advanced soil models, and results from existing lab-based soil tests.

3. Actionable Recommendations: The platform generates hyper-localized, multi-seasonal regenerative plans (e.g., tailored biofertilizers, composts, mulching) and delivers them in a user-friendly, local-language interface.

Crucially, our XAI explains why it recommends an action, building the trust necessary for farmers to transition from chemical inputs to sustainable, long-term practices. We are digitizing wisdom to secure a resilient future

MEND, formerly ReGen, makes a complete living soil microbiome: bacteria, fungi, protozoa and the beneficial nematodes, plus natural metabolites, concentrated without killing the biology. We restore the biology that makes the nutrients already in the soil available to the plant.

Most biological products introduce a single isolated strain into a system that only works as a group. Our concentrate contains the complete microbial groups and runs on equipment the farm already owns, through seed treatment, fertigation or foliar spray.

Four independent institutions have tested it, and we ran none of the trials. The Ministry of Agriculture measured 14% more nitrogen intake in wheat. MIGAL measured about 80% less fungal infection in cotton. Evogene maintained onion yield on half the nitrogen. HaMadama and the Volcani Center saw broomrape pressure suppressed in sunflower.

Today MEND works with commercial growers in Israel across wheat, cotton, onion, sunflower, strawberry, potato, avocado and mango, plus four large nurseries running pilots. More than 1,000 microbial species are identified by DNA sequencing of the formulation, and diversity is steered through feedstock ratios. There are no patents for now, by choice. The process is a trade secret.
