Overview
Agovor is a New Zealand horticultural robotics startup building compact, fully electric autonomous eTractors for vineyards, orchards, and berry farms. Founded in 2022 by Richard Beaumont and Simon Carroll, the 120kg eTractor operates up to 10 hours on swappable batteries with smart towed attachments including mowers and sprayers.
The Agovor Portal software enables fleet management and automatic work redistribution. Agovor raised A$3M in pre-seed funding led by Tenacious Ventures with Hort Innovation, and is expanding sales across Australia and New Zealand.
