## About

Based in Pennsylvania, US, and founded in 2016 by its CEO, Perry Edwards, and CTO, Zhiwen Liu, Atoptix, Inc., trading as Croptix, operates as a precision agriculture platform that specializes in the in-field early detection of crop diseases and nutrient deficiencies. In February 2023, Croptix raised USD 1.57 million in seed funding led by Advancing Eco Agriculture, with participation from 1855 Capital and Ben Franklin Technology Partners. 

Atoptix, Inc. provides an agriculture platform that utilizes molecular ultrasound technology for capturing and analyzing the optical fingerprint of the leaves in real-time through machine learning algorithms and detects diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and water stress at an early stage, allowing farmers to take preventive measures proactively. It also offers a range of services, including on-site screening using leaf sensors, detailed grove condition analysis, historical tracking, and a web application for viewing screening results, scheduling routes and activities, and tracking team efforts.

The company plans to use the seed funding for product development and the process of patented ownership.
