Deep Planet

Deep Planet is a London-based AgriTech startup founded in 2018 by University of Oxford researchers and MBA classmates David Carter, Sushma Shankar, and Natalia Efremova. The company built an AI and machine-learning platform that combines satellite imagery, IoT sensors, and weather data to help winemakers and farmers with harvest logistics, soil health, and sustainability. Its technology can remotely measure grape sugar content (Brix), pH, and tartaric acid at the individual vine level, and supports carbon measurement and regenerative farming practices. Deep Planet serves over 100 customers across the US, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and Argentina, including doTERRA, and is backed by the European Space Agency, University of Oxford, EIT Food, and the Copernicus Incubation Programme.
