PES Technologies Secures £1.3M Pre-Series A Funding

We are thrilled to share some exciting news from one of our very own EpiCentre community members – PES Technologies has successfully secured £1.3 million in pre-Series A funding, marking a significant milestone in their journey to revolutionise soil health monitoring.

Following their award-winning product launch last year, PES Technologies continues to gain momentum, attracting both new and returning investors. This latest funding round is a testament to the strength of their innovation and the dedication of their team.

Welcoming Global Investment Partners

This round includes the support of two major international investors making their first UK-based investments:

  • Artesian (Alternative Investments) – A leading global alternative investment management firm headquartered in Australia, investing through their GrainInnovate fund.
  • Agnition Ventures – The investment arm of Ravensdown, one of New Zealand’s largest fertiliser cooperatives.

These partnerships not only bring capital but also global expertise and networks that will help PES Technologies scale their impact in sustainable agriculture.

A Word from the CEO

Andrej Porovic, CEO  and co-founder of PES Technologies, (pictured) shared his excitement:

“This funding round is a big show of confidence from our shareholders in both the product and the team.”
