SPOTLIGHT: SAM ROGERS - GRAZEMATE

Another incredible Australian making waves around the world and this time in farming. At 19 years old, Sam Rogers from North Queensland has raised $1.2 million for his startup which uses autonomous drones to mover herds at the tap of a phone.

GrazeMate (YC W26) runs automatic daily missions to identify herd location and wellbeing using AI models, as well as detecting water trough levels, and checking fencelines - all controlled and relayed straight through our mobile app.

Incredibly inspiring work from another Australian who is now heading to California! Congratulations Sam!
