Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Aydi, an AI-powered platform dedicated to supporting growers worldwide, successfully closed a $7.5 million seed funding round, co-led by COTU Ventures, Daltex, and Nuwa Capital, with participation from Magrabi Agriculture and Foundation Ventures.

This investment will help Aydi introduce and scale Orth, its AI agronomy assistant that provides personalized real-time insights to empower growers facing rising input costs, climate volatility, and expert shortages, the company announced in a press release today.

Orth combines satellite and weather monitoring, predictive analytics on millions of data points, and conversational AI for instant answers to deliver plot-level precision, enabling farmers to achieve over 20% improvements in yield and efficiency.

Hassan Fayed, Founder and CEO of Aydi, stated that the round marks a major milestone for the company and validates its mission to give every grower access to world-class agronomy.

He affirmed that Orth transforms decades of agricultural science into an easy-to-use AI assistant that gives farmers instant recommendations, detects problems early, and helps them grow higher-quality crops.

Meanwhile, Nitin Reen, Partner at Nuwa Capital, commented: “We have been supporters of Aydi since ideation and we are happy to deepen the partnership in this current funding round. With the advent of AI, there is a growing opportunity to digitize what has been, comparatively, an analog industry. Orth gives all farm operators access to agronomy-specific information and recommendations, which were historically reserved for large-scale farms, thus democratizing access to this expertise.”

Moreover, the funding will enable Aydi to scale Orth into a full AI Operating System for Global Agriculture, with the goal of reaching millions of farmers worldwide.
