The Market Failure of Good Enough Data
Ranchers make their most critical and expensive decisions—regarding supplemental feed and herd rotation—with an incomplete picture. Current satellite tools can show where grass is green, but they can't answer the multi-million-dollar question: is it good grass?
This forces a reactive management style based on lagging indicators. An NDVI greenness map can't distinguish between nutritious forage and watery, low-protein grass, and it only shows drought after the damage is already done. This data gap is a direct risk to profitability and sustainability.
The Forager Solution: From Data to Decisions
Project Forager is a data and analytics platform that closes the information gap. Our proprietary algorithms, powered by advanced remote sensing, deliver two unique intelligence products that no other service can provide:
Forage Quality Maps
Using Red-Edge and SWIR spectral data, we map the actual nutritional content (protein proxy) of your forage. This allows you to optimize grazing for maximum weight gain and strategically reduce supplemental feed costs.
Predictive Moisture Alerts
Our thermal and SWIR sensors detect the earliest signs of water stress in plants and soil. Receive alerts days or weeks in advance, enabling proactive herd rotation to mitigate drought risk and preserve forage.
The Economic Choice is Clear
To get this level of insight, a rancher has two options. The choice is a stark one between a slow, expensive, and complex DIY approach versus an affordable, instant, and effortless subscription.

- Weeks to map a single ranch
- Requires a full-time expert
The SpaceBeef Subscription
- $0 Upfront Capital
- ~$15,000 Annual Fee (25k acres)
- Seconds to map your ranch
- Delivered to your phone
A De-Risked, Phased Path to Market
Our business plan is built to prove our value before significant capital is spent on hardware. We are executing a capital-efficient Crawl-Walk-Run strategy.
- Crawl: Scientific Validation. We are partnering with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to conduct field studies that will build and scientifically validate our core algorithms.
- Walk: Commercial Validation. We will then launch a full-season pilot program on a commercial ranch to produce a case study with a quantified, 10x return on investment.
- Run: Scaling with Proprietary Data. With the value proven, we will launch our first dedicated microsatellite to scale our unique data product to the wider market.
Proudly Partnering With
Our scientific validation is being conducted in collaboration with one of the world's leading agricultural research institutions.
