ROI & VALUATION

From Hardware Rollout to Platform Value


Investment Logic

Investors are backing a scalable infrastructure platform, not a farming operation.

Value creation follows three stages:

Phase 1 — System Validation
Pilot proves reliability, adoption and operational model
→ Technology / system value established

Phase 2 — Revenue & Network Growth
Hardware + recurring service revenue begins
→ Growth + recurring revenue multiple

Phase 3 — Platform Scaling
Platform dominates hardware, high-margin recurring income
→ Platform / infrastructure valuation


Revenue Evolution

Hardware → Services → Platform

Target structure:
>60% recurring revenue

  • Monitoring & operations subscriptions
  • Network & service layer
  • Data-driven optimization

Scaling Economics

Value grows non-linearly with network expansion:

50 → 500 → 5,000 → 50,000 units

With scale:

  • Cost per unit ↓
  • Data advantage ↑
  • Platform value ↑
  • Network lock-in ↑
  • Valuation multiple ↑

Return Drivers

  • Recurring platform revenue growth
  • Network expansion & data moat
  • Infrastructure positioning
  • Strategic acquisition or long-term yield

Strategic Position

Verdanaut is not a farming company.
We build the operating system for distributed agriculture.

Infrastructure + Platform + Network = Scalable Enterprise Value
