Where new ideas take root and grow
LaunchPad by BOFIN is a new way for agri-tech companies to develop and bring products to market faster, more cost-effectively and with stronger farmer input. We deliver robust on-farm trials that turn farmers into long-term partners and advocates, rather than simply test sites.
We manage trial design, farmer recruitment, data collection and unique success-based reward model that lets farmers share in your future success.
The result? Robust evidence, faster learning and early adopters who become your most credible advocates.
How it works
Design
We work with you to define objectives, design the trial protocol, and agree data needs and financial structure.
Recruit & Train
We recruit suitable farms from our trusted, independent network and prepare them to undertake the trial work.
Trial
You supply the product while we support farmers as they carry out the trials.
Results
We manage data analysis and farmer feedback, including delivery of a PR and communications plan if required.
