What ChrysaLabs does
ChrysaLabs is a Montreal-based ag-tech company that builds real-time, in-field soil measurement technology for precision agriculture and soil carbon MRV. Its core product is the ChrysaLabs Probe, a portable direct-contact proximal sensing device combining optical spectroscopy (NIR/MIR wavelengths) with AI/ML models to analyze 40 soil parameters — including macronutrients, micronutrients, pH, organic matter, CEC, organic carbon, bulk density, and moisture — in under 30 seconds. Results flow through a cloud platform and a mobile application (iOS and Android), with full vertical soil carbon profiling at 4 to 30 inch depth increments replacing traditional single-composite soil sampling.
The company operates a hybrid business model: a recurring subscription for the probe hardware and software platform, plus managed MRV services for soil carbon projects. In November 2025, ChrysaLabs became the first direct-contact proximal sensing technology independently validated by Bureau Veritas for use under Verra's VM0042 v2.1 methodology for Improved Agricultural Land Management, positioning it as an MRV provider of record for the regulated voluntary carbon market. Its measurement framework is also aligned with ISO 17025 and recognized by the FAO's GLOSOLAN network.
ChrysaLabs targets five primary segments: soil carbon project developers, agricultural input and biologicals providers, CPG companies managing Scope 3 agricultural emissions, biofuel/SAF producers requiring carbon intensity documentation, and regenerative agriculture operators. Commercial deployments span 2 million+ acres across 7 countries including the United States, Canada, and Kenya (40,000 smallholder farmers via Vestergaard). The company employs 30+ people across agronomy, data science, software, hardware/electronics, and operations, and is backed by Leaps by Bayer, TELUS Ventures, BDC Capital, Ecofuel, Premier Tech, and other Canadian investors following a CA$1.35M seed (2021) and $11M USD Series A (2023).

ChrysaLabs competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Regrow: Regrow combines remote sensing, biogeochemical modeling, and MRV infrastructure for soil carbon and Scope 3 programs serving CPGs and ag-input companies. It is a direct peer in the soil carbon MRV and regenerative-ag enablement space ChrysaLabs targets.
- EarthOptics: EarthOptics provides high-resolution soil sensing (Ground Penetrating Radar and other modalities) for carbon quantification and precision agriculture. It is both a ChrysaLabs collaboration partner and a direct competitor in soil carbon MRV targeting the same enterprise buyers.
- CIBO Technologies: CIBO Technologies is a John Deere-backed platform offering soil carbon MRV, modeling, and sustainability analytics for growers and CPG buyers. It competes with ChrysaLabs directly in soil-carbon measurement and regenerative-ag program enablement.
- Stenon: Stenon offers a portable, real-time NIR-based soil sensor that delivers in-field soil parameter analysis. It competes with ChrysaLabs Probe on hardware-form factor and real-time soil analytics for agronomists and growers.
- Veris Technologies: Veris Technologies manufactures on-the-go soil sensors (electrical conductivity, pH, organic matter) deployed in-field for precision agriculture. It overlaps with ChrysaLabs in mobile/field-deployed soil sensing for nutrient and carbon mapping.
Broad incumbents
- Trimble Agriculture: Trimble Agriculture is a broad incumbent in precision-ag hardware, GNSS, and farm-management software. It overlaps with ChrysaLabs on field-data capture, variable-rate application, and farm-management analytics at the enterprise row-crop buyer level.
- Climate LLC (Climate FieldView): Climate FieldView is Bayer's broad precision-agriculture platform aggregating farm data, field analytics, and increasingly carbon/sustainability tools. As a broad incumbent, it overlaps with ChrysaLabs on farm-level data and decision support, and Bayer (via Leaps by Bayer) is already an investor in ChrysaLabs.
Emerging players
- Indigo Ag: Indigo Ag operates large-scale regenerative-ag and carbon-credit programs backed by agronomic and microbial data. While not a direct hardware competitor, it competes for the same soil-carbon program developer and CPG buyer wallet.
- Taranis: Taranis provides AI-powered aerial imaging and field-level agronomic analytics for crop advisors and ag retailers. It is an adjacent precision-ag analytics player that intersects with ChrysaLabs on input optimization and field-data workflows.
- Pindar: Pindar (Israel-based) provides field-level soil-carbon measurement and MRV services for carbon project developers and farmers. It overlaps with ChrysaLabs' soil carbon verification offering but with a different technological approach.
