What N-Drip does
N-Drip is an Israeli agritech company that designs, manufactures, and deploys a proprietary gravity-powered micro-irrigation system targeting the world's 600 million acres of flood-irrigated farmland. Its core product is a patented dripper that operates at 0.06 bar (0.87 psi) without pumps or filters—roughly 30x lower pressure than conventional drip systems—and is built around a multidimensional flow structure that tolerates suspended particles in raw water. The system leverages existing flood-irrigation infrastructure and field topography, which the company reports reduces conversion costs by up to 75% versus alternative pressurized systems and yields farmer ROI within approximately one year on average. N-Drip's commercial portfolio includes the core N-Drip Gravity Micro Irrigation System and N-Drip Connect™, a sensor-based decision-support add-on that monitors root-zone moisture and nitrogen to recommend irrigation and fertilization schedules.
The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of proprietary drippers, laterals, and system components, supplemented by annual subscription revenue from N-Drip Connect and professional services for field studies, system design, and installation oversight. It goes to market via enterprise field sales with three regional hubs in Australia, India, and the United States (Arizona headquarters), supported by regional distributors such as Amir Marketing in Israel. It sells primarily to row-crop and field-crop farmers (cotton, corn, soybeans, rice, potatoes, sugar cane, alfalfa) across SMB and mid-market segments, with select enterprise anchor relationships including PepsiCo (potato growers, partnership since 2021) and Google (corporate water replenishment in Nebraska, 2024). The company employs 100+ staff across R&D, manufacturing, distribution, and sales, with operations in 10 countries and 5 US states.
N-Drip was founded in 2017 by Prof. Uri Shani, former head of the Israel Water Authority, and is led by CEO Eran Pollak (formerly senior director at the Israel Ministry of Finance). The company has raised approximately $81M across five disclosed rounds between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent being a $44M Series C in June 2023 led by Liechtenstein Group. It holds a broad international patent portfolio across 17+ jurisdictions covering its core gravity dripper, stabilized-pressure methods, and the N-Drip Connect monitoring system, and won the IFC/Financial Times Transformational Business Award for Excellence in Disruptive Technologies in 2019.

- Netafim: Israel-based global leader in drip and micro-irrigation. Most directly comparable peer; competes with N-Drip on converting flood-irrigated fields, but N-Drip differentiates by eliminating pumps/filters via gravity operation.
Broad incumbents
- Lindsay Corporation: US-based irrigation equipment manufacturer (center pivots, lateral-move) with Zimmatic brand. Operates broadly in agricultural irrigation but specializes in mechanized systems rather than gravity drip; potential adjacent competitor.
- Valmont Industries: Global infrastructure and irrigation equipment maker (Valley Irrigation pivots). Broad incumbent serving similar agriculture customers but with pivot-irrigation focus rather than drip conversion.
- The Toro Company: US-based manufacturer of irrigation equipment for agriculture, golf, and residential markets. Broad incumbent with established dealer networks; competes indirectly on agricultural drip and micro-irrigation.
