Mariposa Technology's original offering opened on September 17, 2021 and was completed on February 24, 2022. Except for the Updates section which may contain more recent information, the information on this page was accurate as of February 24, 2022.

Mariposa Technology

A one-of-a-kind, digital farming tool that will help revolutionize the world of agricultural testing beginning with industrial hemp.

Introduction

Mariposa Technology provides a cutting edge service to hemp farmers. Through the use of our handheld Raman spectrometer, our technology can provide hemp farmers with vital, analytical information about their crops. Once the data on a specific hemp variety is logged in our Raman spectroscopy database, farmers can optimize their harvest with unprecedented access to daily crop test readings.

Problem

problem1

Iowa’s Department of Agriculture reported that roughly 13% of Iowa farmers’ hemp fields had to be fully or partially destroyed in 2020. According to Don Robison, seed administrator with the Office of Indiana State Chemists, nearly 20% of Indiana’s hemp crop was destroyed last year due to high THC levels. Recently, an Oklahoma facility was forced to destroy an estimated $7-$10 million in hemp as THC levels were once again exceeding the legal limit.

Can you imagine making a significant investment of both time and money into cultivating a crop with dreams of guaranteed profits, only to be told at harvest that you have to burn it all to the ground?

The legal limit of total-THC in hemp is 0.3% (3/10 of 1%) and any amount over that limit requires the crop to be destroyed. For the tens of thousands of hemp farmers in the U.S., this is the unfortunate reality for up to 25% of their crop each year. This is happening in every state across the country, to large and small farmers alike.

Pain points in the hemp testing process include:

  • Sample collection (handler) site visit fees
  • Lab testing fee
  • Lab result wait times
  • Lost profit opportunity

“Many hemp growers are consistently stressed out about the level of THC and whether their plants will test hot or not”
- Roger Brown, Co-founder & President ACS Laboratory

Solution

solution1

Raman Spectroscopy

The Raman Effect was originally discovered by renowned Indian physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, who was awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his discovery. A Raman spectra provides a structural "finger print" of molecular composition by which molecules can be identified and studied.

Mariposa Technologies, through an exclusive agreement with AgriLife Research and the Kurouski Laboratory of Texas A&M University, has further developed a testing protocol utilized by an on-site, handheld Raman spectrometer that references an AI database for the testing of live hemp plants.

  • Fully transferable
  • $2,500 upfront cost + $250/acre
  • Limited training time (20-30 minutes)
  • Requires only a computer + internet
  • Less prone to user error than other testing protocols
  • Zero sample preparation required
  • Results in 30-60 seconds
  • Proven to work in other agricultural crops

Our proprietary algorithms continuously update our database with every additional scan performed, using AI to compete with other comparable solutions in the world of agriculture today.

Mariposa Technology is working to deliver an affordable, accurate, and easy-to-use handheld device to farmers and growers, paired with our proprietary database to ensure crops are optimized and staying within the legal total-THC limits.

Business Model

SaaS/TaaS Subscription Model

Mariposa Technology plans to rent farmers a self-operated digital farming tool, requiring less than thirty minutes of training prior to use. Along with our tool rental, we plan to offer subscriptions to our digital database of reference test results. Farmers typically invest tens of thousands of dollars per acre on:

  • Seeds
  • Equipment
  • Water
  • Labor
  • Lab testing

We can help protect those investments by providing the unprecedented ability to monitor the crop for an estimated 2% of the farmer’s overall costs. With 500,000+ acres of hemp licensed in 2020 alone, and our unique fee-per-acre pricing model, the potential revenue opportunity is immense - not only in the U.S. but around the globe.

We are also pursuing the opportunity to form strategic laboratory partnerships across the country. Partnerships will enable labs to offer new services to their existing customer base. Our proprietary database can be complementary to existing business models, allowing labs to stay on the cutting edge of testing technology.

“The global industrial hemp market is forecasted to be worth at least USD $12.98 billion by 2025.”
- Market Data Forecast.

Market

market1

Hemp farming is quickly growing in popularity, not only in the U.S., but around the world. Farmers are turning to hemp to capitalize on the huge potential financial opportunity that is currently presented, and continually growing. Due to its commercial versatility - with thousands upon thousands of known uses - and its unmatched benefits as a rotational crop, hemp has been considered by many to be “the king of crops.”

Mariposa Technology provides an increasingly important service to assist hemp growers in complying with strict potency guidelines and basic quality standards.

  • Grand View Research projects the market value for the global hemp industry to grow by 15.8% between 2020-2027. Global revenues for CBD (derived from hemp) alone are projected to increase from $9.3 billion to $23.6 billion in 2025.

    Mariposa Technology would like to share some exciting announcements:

    1. Our R&D continues to move forward with ongoing farm visits and field scans. We’re happy to announce that it is becoming more and more apparent that our scans and algorithms can identify the molecular differences between immature male and female hemp plants. Currently, when hemp plants hit maturity, the industry spends heavily on manual labor in searching their fields for rogue males, where just one male plant can pollinate hundreds of acres, filling the female flowers with seeds causing major complications for growers. Delivering the unprecedented ability to identify and eliminate this expensive and time consuming process is now in focus for Mariposa Technology. Our co-founders are traveling to Colorado this coming week for further R&D on this potentially revolutionary new discovery, and to open formal discussions with potential new partners.

    2. The Louisiana Angel Investor Tax Credits reserved by Mariposa Technology, for accredited investors, are still available into the first quarter of 2022. The 35% credits can be re-sold and are useable starting on taxes due for 2023. Please contact us for more information on these valuable credits.

    3. We are developing an Investor Board of Advisors. We look forward to announcing the impressive list of professionals who have agreed to join us, not only as advisors, but as investors as well. If you would like more information about potentially joining this advisory board, please apply on our LinkedIn page.

    With these events in mind, Team Mariposa has decided to extend our Netcapital campaign.

Dzmitry Kurouski, head of Kurouski Laboratory, reports that “so far, after analyzing 907 Raman spectra, our models enable over 90% accurate differentiation between hemp and marijuana,” which is a vital accomplishment in our mission to provide accurate, in-field hemp testing on par with laboratory testing. Our Chief Science Officer, Dr. James Guenther, added that “this endeavor represents an innovative mix of classic Raman spectroscopy principles and novel technologies in laser scanning, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The outcome of this research has the potential to truly enhance our understanding of multiple fields in biology and physics.” Our team is working hard to continually deliver more promising results throughout 2022!

The company has developed its handheld Raman spectrometer that provides hemp farmers with analytical information about their crops. Once the data about a specific variety of hemp is logged into the spectrometer, it can be used to optimize the hemp harvests. Mariposa Technology has also developed a testing protocol through an exclusive agreement with AgriLife Research and the Kurouski Laboratory of Texas A&M University. John Roberts and Mickal Adler founded Mariposa Technology in May 2021. The current crowdfunding campaign has a minimum target of $10,000 and a maximum target of $1,070,000. The campaign proceeds will be used for technical research and development, RS devices, professional services, rent, and compensation.
