About the role
About Bountiful
Bountiful started by Megan Nunes, a first generation immigrant from the Azores, raised in the central valley of California from a farming family. After studying agriculture at Cal Poly, Megan moved into aerospace and quickly developed a connection between the two industries. Bountiful was born out of leveraging data and analytics to help farmers modernize. Michael Bertino, an aerospace engineer by trade, joined soon after the company’s founding to build better products for agriculture.
Bountiful is a data analytics company that is creating the system of record for agriculture; specifically digitizing and organizing data in the specialty crop industry. We digitize records, benchmark against peers, forecast yield, and give market intelligence to farmers, buyers and sellers. The Bountiful Operating System (OS) product digitizes and synthesizes farm level data into a singular place for farmers and track production, costs and income year over year. This data feeds into training our yield forecasts to provide more accurate estimates at the end of the season at the field level. We have seen tremendous growth in this new product with farmers growing 3.5x last year and on track for over 3x this year. OS has opportunities for applications beyond a dashboard for farmers such as creating a data moat for ML models, due diligence for lending, insurance reporting/verification and trading.
