Luzardo

Luzardo turns smartphone photos into verified cattle weight data in seconds, no scales needed, building the data layer that unlocks financing, insurance, and market access for ranchers worldwide.

11 active pilots across 7 countries validate the platform across diverse breeds and environments. Spain (ASOPROVAC): 5-farm pilot active, scaling toward 1,000 farms at $1/cow/month ($564K Year 1). Nigeria: sublicense with a major meat processor under the World Bank's L-PRES program is in final-stage negotiation, with a proposed $500K guaranteed royalty floor. Canada (Trouw Nutrition): inbound feed-efficiency pilot, the template for U.S. entry. Year 1 modeled revenue (committed + proposed): $1,064,000.

Cattle weight is the most actionable data point in beef production, yet it remains largely unmeasured. Physical scales cost $2,000 to $15,000, require fixed installation, and disrupt the herd during handling. Remote, low-capital farms often lack the infrastructure to support them. Without reliable weight data, ranchers can't access financing or insurance, which depend on proof of asset value. Luzardo replaces the scale with a smartphone photo, turning weight data into the foundation for financing, insurance, and trade infrastructure built for the cattle industry.

Luzardo distributes through institutional nodes rather than acquiring farmers one by one. A single partnership with an association, processor, or feed company converts into network-scale reach. Pricing is calibrated to market maturity: $1/cow/month direct in developed markets (Spain, U.S.), and a royalty-based sublicense with a guaranteed minimum floor in emerging markets (Nigeria). These nodes also serve as design partners, accelerating product development while kickstarting the network effects that drive organic adoption across adjacent farms.
