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.
