About Drover
As the challenges of ranching grow due to rising labor costs and an unpredictable climate, Drover is dedicated to enabling ranchers to sustainably and efficiently nourish the world. By simplifying livestock management and promoting rotational grazing, we aim to enhance productivity and minimize carbon footprints. This initiative represents a significant $46 billion opportunity and contributes to addressing climate change.
Utilizing our innovative, patent-pending low-voltage electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology, we guide and contain cows without the need for physical barriers or electric shocks. We're pioneering a solution that has never been executed before, evidenced by our extensive waitlist of ranches eager to join our platform.
Founded by Callum Taylor, whose family has deep roots in ranching and Samuel Aubin from Australian ranching communities, Drover (formerly AgX) is backed by Workshop Ventures, a venture capital firm known for supporting transformative IoT companies. We are seeking a dynamic team of talented individuals ready to immerse themselves in the ranching industry's complexities and opportunities.
