FluroSat: Tips for startups entering the US agritech market

We follow Flurosat’s journey into the US with CEO and Founder Anastasia Volkova, a young and vibrant aeronautical engineer, 2019 evokeAG. speaker and all-around star for Australian agriculture.

We follow Flurosat’s journey into the US with CEO and Founder Anastasia Volkova, a young and vibrant aeronautical engineer, 2019 evokeAG. speaker and all-around star for Australian agriculture.

Anastasia’s number one tip for startups is to be targeted. “Don’t tackle the US as one country, think of it as 50 different states.”
