At Drone-Hand, we’re building the future of livestock management. Our machine-learning software integrates with autonomous drones and fixed-camera systems to help livestock producers reduce preventable losses, cut labour costs, and increase profitability — all while supporting a more sustainable and food-secure future. In the past year we’ve: -Completed trials in New Zealand and Australia, with ongoing pilots in the US and Canada. -Partnered with JBS Australia on fixed-camera and drone-dock projects. -Partnered with Toll Uncrewed for training and regulatory support for our customers -Won the Australian Technologies Competition (Food, Water & Agribusiness category) and the AIIA iAwards VIC StartUp of the Year. -Closed our pre-seed round, including investment from a US venture capital firm. Looking ahead, we are preparing for our commercial launch in Australia, expanding our machine-learning capabilities, and laying the groundwork for a US market entry within 12–18 months. We’re excited to connect with investors, partners, and industry leaders who share our vision for transforming livestock production.
