## About

Based in New Brunswick, Canada, and founded in 2020, Picketa Systems Inc. operates as an ag-tech platform that provides real-time plant tissue sampling that supports agri-businesses in conducting analyses related to their agriculture. The company was co-founded by Xavier Hébert-Couturier (CEO), Maxime Dumont (COO), Dominic Levesque (CTO), and Zachary Andersen (CGO). In June 2026, Picketa Systems Inc. raised CAD 2.1 million in venture funding led by Tall Grass Ventures, with participation from East Valley Ventures, Koan Capital, New Brunswick Innovation Foundation, Skull Diamond, Heart Capital, Verdex Capital, and BDC Capital.

The company develops handheld scanning technology called LENS for analyzing soil and plant nutrient content. This technology provides real-time and precise information to help farmers make data-driven decisions, resulting in improved crop health, reduced costs, and increased sustainability in agriculture. By scanning plant tissue and soil, the technology analyses nutrient concentrations and offers valuable insights into nutrient data, location-specific weather, and fertilizer application history. With this information, farmers can effectively manage fertilizer usage, prevent overuse, and make informed decisions to maximize their crop's potential.
