Agtech Software to Reverse Climate Change — Anastasia Volkova, CEO of Regrow

PODCAST GUEST BIO:

Co-led by Cofounder and CEO Dr. Anastasia Volkova, Regrow is the first digital platform to unlock the power and profitability of resilient agriculture through a single, measurable, and verifiable system. Regrow combines best-in-class agronomy (from FluroSat, started by Anastasia) with soil and carbon modeling (from Dagan, acquired by FluroSat) to deliver customized, site-specific and scalable solutions to businesses across the supply chain.

Anastasia's passion is Earth observation, automation, and efficiency. With three degrees and a doctoral thesis on autonomous navigation systems, she has experience in project management, transportation, and IT, including leading a 370-person team for UEFA, workshopping with Airbus, managing software development teams for American/European companies, starting a web development company, and running a successful event management startup.

Her thesis "Feature-based Visual Navigation in GPS-denied environment" is the basis for Regrow's software for the processing of remotely sensed images (including Machine Learning), assignment of semantic labels on visual features, and multi-sensor/ multi-temporal data fusion for localization purposes.

She is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council and Board Director for the Aurora Space Startup Cluster, an Australian initiative to promote the aerospace industry with 65 member companies across the entire supply chain.

PODCAST HOST:

Entrepreneurs for Impact is the only private mastermind community for growth-stage CEOs and investors fighting climate change. We’re on a mission to help climate leaders supercharge their impacts, share best practices, expand their networks, and reach their full potential.

Our invite-only cohorts of 12 executives catalyze personal development and business growth via monthly meetings, annual retreats, a member-only Climate Investor Database, and 1:1 coaching and strategy calls.

Today’s highly curated Mastermind members represent over $5B in market cap or assets under management, and are influencing corporate priorities and infrastructure much bigger than that.

Peer groups are led by Dr. Chris Wedding who brings $1B+ of investment experience, 60,000+ professional students taught, 25 years of meditation, an obsession with constant improvement, and far too many mistakes to keep to himself.
