What Pollen Systems does

Pollen Systems Corporation is a private precision agriculture technology company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Woodinville, Washington. The company operates an AI-enabled agricultural intelligence platform branded PrecisionView™, which integrates drone imagery (RGB, multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR), satellite data, IoT sensor telemetry, and geospatial analytics into a unified operational interface. Core capabilities include NDVI and multispectral crop-health analytics, AI-driven yield prediction (claimed 94.2% confidence), disease and stress detection (claimed 96.7% accuracy), and irrigation modeling that delivers reported 17-26% water savings across crop types. The platform is built on hyperscale geospatial infrastructure branded as "Powered by Omniris Geospatial Infrastructure," with Esri's GIS technology as the underlying analytics layer.

The company serves enterprise agricultural operations across 10 specialty crop verticals: wine grapes, apples, almonds, avocados, blueberries, cherries, oranges, raspberries, rice, and soybeans. Reported operational scale includes 10M+ acres modeled, 10M+ images processed, 100TB+ of geospatial data, and a network of 4,000+ drone pilots supporting field data capture. In February 2026, Pollen Systems announced a strategic partnership with Arbol to develop a parametric agricultural and climate insurance product, supported by Esri and Omniris, marking the company's first move into financial risk-transfer products adjacent to its core analytics platform.

The business model is enterprise SaaS subscription delivered through direct field sales and a self-serve PrecisionView web portal, with custom quote-based pricing rather than publicly disclosed tiers. Leadership comprises founder/CEO Keith McCall (with prior exits across enterprise software, geospatial intelligence, and AI), Chief Product and Technology Officer Craig Eisler, and Director of Operations Tanner Scholten. Cumulative disclosed funding is approximately $3.45M across three rounds between 2019 and 2024, with no institutional investor list publicly attributed beyond early backers Keiretsu Capital/Forum and Puget Sound Venture Club.
