IntelliCulture, founded in 2018, is a Waterloo-based ag-tech startup that focuses on enhancing farm management through innovative software solutions. The company was co-founded by three alumni from the University of Waterloo: Ramin Shaikhi, Michael Wu, and Cole Powers. IntelliCulture addresses critical challenges faced by farmers, particularly those growing high-value crops like grapes, fruits, and vegetables, which have traditionally lacked technological support. Their platform helps farmers efficiently plan and track their operations while ensuring compliance with industry regulations​(

The software utilizes linked devices that integrate with various farm machinery to collect essential data. This allows growers to monitor crucial activities such as harvesting, equipment maintenance, and labor needs. Currently, IntelliCulture serves over 100 customers, including several Fortune 500 companies. Recently, the startup secured $3.5 million in funding to further develop its platform and expand its reach in the agricultural sector​
