Company
Bear Flag Robotics
Autonomous driving technology for farm tractors
We build autonomous driving software and hardware that retrofits farm tractors, enabling growers to automate routine tasks like planting and cultivation. Our system also collects data to give farmers actionable insights about their fields and operations. It reduces dependence on farm labor and removes workers from hazardous conditions, which growers have struggled with for years.
We live in Newark, CA and plan to base the company here after YC.
Newark is close to Silicon Valley's technical talent and venture community, which helps us recruit engineers and engage with investors. At the same time, it's close to major agricultural areas in California, letting us stay connected to users and test our product on real farms.
