Well, I founded a startup that's using ML to help turn satellite data into credit risk profiles for the world's poorest farmers so we can sell them fertilizer and seed.
So... I think tensor flow is going to be pretty great for the 1K farmers we're working with this year and ~50k we're going to try and reach next year.

- estsauver 10y agoCompletely serious, we're alumni of The Climate Corporation. Satellite data is cheap or in many cases free, and the cost of sending a trained loan officer out to the field is far too high to justify. Shoot me an email at earl@apolloagriculture.com and I'd be happy to chat more.
