Hi Guys! I grew up farming and ended up teaching myself to code on youtube and got a software engineer job that is my current 9 to 5. I have a passive income in a POD Etsy business (I know this isn't fastlane but it covers my grocery bills). I also freelance as a software engineer on the side specializing in agtech and working with ag businesses. My why is I want to be able to spend time with my family and get my family to get off the farm so they're not working 90 hour work weeks during the summer and I'm ready to break free from corporate. My value background is in the ag industry and software/tech industry. I want to bring value to the ag industry, and consumers with my unique background in ag/tech. I have some ideas to turn my dream life into a reality and I want to get honest feedback.

  • Aggregator for Farmers/Agribusiness People with commodities they are in business in, growing degree days, weather, and news curated to their personal needs
  • Turo for farm equipment and heavy machinery
  • Labor sharing for farmers. Theres a huge labor issue in ag. I'm thinking of making a platform where people looking for work can post and farmers looking for workers can hire for seasonal or just a one-time job. This can be for H2As, migrant, high school kids, farmers, corporate farms etc.
  • Ag influencer platform that connects farm brands to ag influencers or people w a farm audience
  • Connecting small hobby farmers to manufacturers/wholesalers/restauraunts looking to stamp "locally sourced" on products to consumers
I'm open to ideas as well. Thanks!
