Myca raises $1.3M pre-seed for AI field operations

· Agriculture & Food

Myca has raised $1.3 million in pre-seed funding to deploy AI agents that manage agribusiness field operations. The new capital will help the company widen its geographical footprint across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, and India. The startup's technology aims to automate field-level tasks and decision-making for agribusinesses, a growing focus area as farms and suppliers seek efficiency gains. The raise is small but signals continued investor interest in practical, operations-focused agtech rather than capital-heavy farming ventures. Myca did not disclose its existing customers or how many countries it currently operates in. The pre-seed round comes as agricultural companies increasingly adopt digital tools to manage labor, logistics, and crop planning, though adoption remains uneven across regions. The company joins a wave of startups applying AI to agriculture, from pest detection to yield forecasting, but focusing specifically on day-to-day field coordination.

Why it matters：The raise reflects continued venture interest in AI-driven operational tools for agriculture, a segment attracting capital as farms and agribusinesses look to improve efficiency amid labor and margin pressures.
