octopusbotOur Story

Founded in 2020 in the heart of Australia, Octopusbot emerged from the vision of two passionate engineers, boasting over 30 years of combined experience in technology and commodity markets. With a shared passion for leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics, we set out to address the formidable challenges plaguing the commodities industry:

  • Climate Risk: The dramatic rise in weather volatility, including a 74% increase in adverse weather events.
  • Price Volatility: with an average 40% price variance per year, influenced by global events and weather changes.
  • High Risk Exposure and Significant Financial Loss.
  • The absence of accurate and timely forecasts has left businesses navigating in the dark.

octopusbot Our Vision and Purpose

Octopusbot was born out of a desire to mitigate these industry pain points, providing our customers with advanced tools for future planning. Our vision is to become the global go-to platform for the grain and oilseed industry, transforming it into a sector where data-driven decisions lead to fair compensation, risk mitigation, and ultimately, a more equitable and sustainable global market.

    We are dedicated to revolutionizing decision-making in the grain and oilseed industry through accurate, real-time data analytics. Our aim is to ensure our customers not only receive fairer compensation and peace of mind in a volatile market but also contribute to food security and sustainability by optimizing the use of essential resources.

Founder

"My childhood experiences, spent on my grandfather's farm, deeply influenced my path to creating Octopusbot. Witnessing his constant battle with fluctuating crop prices, often insufficient to cover basic costs, left a lasting mark on me. This personal connection to the agricultural world and my later experiences with the transformative power of technology in corporate sectors powered a burning desire. I aimed to democratise access to advanced technology for agribusinesses, enabling them to confidently navigate the complexities of commodity markets for fairer compensation and more efficient use of resources. Octopusbot is a bridge between cutting-edge technology and the foundational agriculture industry, designed to offer farmers and agribusinesses the data-driven insights needed for sustainable success. This initiative is not just a business endeavour; it’s a tribute to the resilience of farmers like my grandfather and a commitment to securing a better future for all the people in agriculture."
