The project

High Growth Start-Up - AI ESG

The business developed AI Software to deliver real-time soil analysis. Using ground sensors that can report and analyse soil nutrients and carbon sequestration / (NPK’s). Combining data that was previously ‘stand alone’ to reveal agronomy insights previously unattainable without decades of manual capture.

DNA worked with the board of directors to position the SaaS solution in the market. We identified the stakeholder groups required to target. These included:

Politicians / ESG advisors / Agronomists / Investors

Utilising DNA’s insight process we were able to build a picture of the market, stakeholders, influencers and potential investors. Creating communications collateral and an Investor deck.

CLIENT COMMENTS

Having worked with Jonathan and the DNA team on many occasions; all with extremely successful outcomes. We engaged the company to manage a full product launch.

This involved DNA getting close to our clients, investors and an on-going process and has resulted in DNA’s stay being extended; as Jonathan uncovered more opportunities for us than we expected.

I would have no hesitation recommending DNA for work that involves an outside consultancy to become fully embroiled in your business as there is no question about the commitment and success from such a relationship.
