Indigo Ag was founded in 2014 by David Perry and a team including researchers from the Flagship Pioneering venture studio, based on research into the plant microbiome, the community of naturally occurring bacteria and fungi that live in and on plants, with the thesis that beneficial microbes could be identified, isolated, and applied as seed treatments to help crops grow more resiliently under stresses such as drought, heat, and salinity, potentially reducing the need for some chemical fertilizers and pesticides while improving yields for farmers, in a similar way that human gut microbiome research has explored connections between naturally occurring bacteria and human health outcomes. Beyond its original microbial seed treatment products, Indigo built a significant business around "carbon farming," which pays farmers for adopting agricultural practices, such as reduced tillage and cover cropping, that increase the amount of carbon stored in soil, then aggregates and verifies these soil carbon gains into carbon credits that Indigo sells to corporations seeking to purchase carbon offsets as part of their own sustainability and climate commitments, positioning farmers to earn additional revenue from environmentally beneficial farming practices beyond simply selling their harvested crops. The company also built a grain marketplace connecting farmers directly with grain buyers, aiming to give farmers more pricing transparency and market access than traditional grain elevator and commodity trading relationships typically provide. Indigo's ambitious, multi-pronged business model, spanning biological crop inputs, carbon markets, and grain marketplace technology, reflected a broad vision for modernizing various aspects of row crop agriculture simultaneously, though the company also underwent significant leadership changes, restructuring, and funding challenges as it worked to prove out the commercial viability and unit economics of these various business lines at scale. Indigo Ag raised very substantial venture funding from investors including Flagship Pioneering, Alaska Permanent Fund, and Baillie Gifford, reaching a peak valuation exceeding $3.5 billion, positioning itself as one of the most well-funded agricultural technology companies globally.
