About us
Agrivanna was founded in October 2024 to build ranch records people actually keep: spoken at the chute, saved with no signal, and useful back at the house.
Who we are
Agrivanna is a small team that built a system most of the industry said couldn't exist: offline grazing intelligence that works on working ranches. Here's who's behind it.
