A lot of people in Silicon Valley are pretty obsessed with organic this and that. One or two startups have looked at the whole connecting-fams-with-consumers-directly model, even. So it's odd that it's taken a startup from little old Croatia to realise that it's the farmers themselves that could use a little help. And let's not be perochial about this. Farming is big business. The 'market' of?medium and corporate-size farms around the world is worth a juicy?$12 billion - but as of today it's often run on outmoded systems. Thus, Farmeron.com, a startup billing itself as one?of the world?s first agricultural SaaS companies, plans to change all that. It's?closed a?$1.4?million seed (one time this word is highly appropriate) round co-led by Lee Hower of NextView Ventures and Jeff Clavier of?SoftTech VC. ?Other prominent angels - Evan Nisselson of LDV Capital, Niko?Hrdy, Taavet Hinrikus?- also participated. The funds wil be used to?hire key management team members and to staff sales and support teams both in US?and Europe.free shipping free shipping esophageal cancer marfan syndrome marfan syndrome britney spears engaged craig smith
