THE GRYFN LEAD TEAM
Insights from a high quality,
high capacity data platform.
Most drone imaging companies in
agriculture focus on the production scale
or operator level, we’re starting at the
other end — we’re delivering complex,
multiple high end sensing technologies to
generate reliable, accurate and precise
data for actionable research. Research
that will eventually benefit
the producer.
MATT BECHDOL
CEO
BS in Public Affairs from Indiana University, MS in Geographic and Cartographic Science from George Mason University, MS in Agricultural Economics from Purdue University, and MBA from Indiana University
Specializes in spatial data analysis and remote sensing technologies for agriculture and natural resources
Previous consulting, leadership and teaching roles within geographic information systems and “Big Data”
Believes weekends are for analog technology, map-geek,
hops-grower
We’re making it easier
every day.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time over
the past two years making it easier to
collect this data. Where we used to have
keyboards and screens and generators in
the field to collect this data, we have
broken that down and made it simpler to
collect data in the field with just a laptop
and an internet cable. We land, we can
pull the GPS data, the LIDAR data
and the hyperspectral data and
layer to understand what
we just saw.
EVAN FLATT
Director of Solutions
Graduate of Purdue University’s College of Technology
Specializes in hardware solutions for remote sensing and mobile mapping applications
Formal training in aviation technology along with hands-on experience in remote sensing
Holds Part 61 Private Pilot Certificate and a Part 107 Remote
Pilot Certificate
Model aircraft builder, guitar player, motorcycle rider
Lab research, in the field.
I’ve spent my professional career
around ag research. UAV in ag has had a
lot of interest but the technology has never
had enough or relevant information to
translate into actionable insights and then
into products.
The GRYFN platform gives
customers repeatable, very high
resolution data sets
to inform decisions that help
make real product
selections.
TRENT LINDENMAN
COO
BS in Agronomy and BS Agriculture Education from Purdue University, MS in Entomology from University of Nebraska
Specialize in operations and logistics to enable research grade data collection for high throughput plant phenotyping
Extensive history in field research trials around plant breeding, biologicals and product development
Focus on research and data analysis within agronomic spheres
Family-man, hiker, runner, biker and beer-aficionado
Cutting edge technology.
There’s plenty of other companies out
there who have the capability to collect
RGB and LIDAR simultaneously or LIDAR
and hyperspectral simultaneously,
but no other U.S. companies are doing
all three on a single platform.
