AQUAOSO Technologies, PBC specializes in location-based climate intelligence solutions tailored for agricultural lenders. Their core product, GIS Connect, integrates geospatial data with financial analytics, enabling lenders to assess risk associated with climate events and environmental factors impacting agricultural operations. The platform allows users to visualize data on interactive maps, streamline due diligence processes, and generate reports that comply with regulatory standards.

Their offerings are designed to enhance decision-making by providing comprehensive insights into farm-level and portfolio-level risks, thus facilitating better risk management in the face of climate change. AQUAOSO generates revenue through a subscription-based model, where clients access their GIS Connect platform and associated services. The structure of transactions typically involves annual or monthly subscriptions that provide users with continuous access to the platform’s tools and data services, such as mapping, analytics, and reporting functionalities. While specific pricing details for these subscriptions are not disclosed, the platform's value proposition centers around its ability to consolidate critical datasets and deliver actionable insights.

This subscription model supports a diverse range of customers, from regional banks to large agricultural institutions, enabling them to leverage AQUAOSO’s technology to enhance their operational efficiency and risk assessment capabilities. In December 2024, Growers Edge Financial, Inc. , acquired AQUAOSO Technologies, PBC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Growers Edge’s farmland valuation models and streamline agricultural lending processes by integrating AQUAOSO's climate intelligence and data-driven tools.

Future growth plans include the development of new products aimed at improving risk assessment capabilities for lenders, as well as plans to expand into new markets across North America, leveraging the recent funding to accelerate these initiatives.
