01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Beakbook was a London-based agtech company founded in 2022 by Giovanni Fabrizio Dos Reis Montefiori, focused on digital transformation in the poultry industry. Its weight prediction tool for poultry gave farmers highly accurate growth forecasts to anticipate growth patterns and meet animal welfare compliance. Its AI technology was deployed as a software layer used by poultry integrators to improve planning - for example in a pilot with Avara Foods, one of the UK's largest food businesses, on predicting crowding levels to monitor animal welfare. Beakbook ranked #435 in the 2022 FoodTech 500.
