Argentine Agtech Startup Cattler Raises $2 Million to Expand Global Livestock Management Platform

Argentine agtech startup Cattler has raised US$2 million in a new funding round, aiming to accelerate its global expansion and enhance its digital tools for the livestock sector. The investment was led by Homegrown Capital, with participation from existing investor Grit Road Partners, Argentine fund Innventure, and other agtech ecosystem players.

Founded by Ignacio Albornoz, Martín Garbulsky, and Ezequiel Conti, Cattler was established to apply technology to livestock production. The company now seeks to position itself as the "operating system" for the global beef industry. Its platform consolidates crucial operational data, including feeding, animal health, inventory control, production monitoring, and financial management, into a single system.

The startup's journey began with Albornoz experimenting with technological solutions to automate tasks on a family farm. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a strategic shift, leading the founders to identify a widespread need among producers in Argentina and the United States for a centralized information hub. This led to the development of their comprehensive management platform.

Cattler's technology is now operational in Argentina, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia. The company reports managing approximately one million head of cattle daily across feedlots, breeding farms, and integrated livestock businesses. Their system functions both online and offline and utilizes artificial intelligence for data capture, analysis, and real-time decision-making.

"The livestock industry operates on very tight margins, yet many operators still rely on spreadsheets or paper. We are building the system that operators truly want to use: something that reflects how work is done on the ground while enabling better decisions and financial visibility," said Albornoz, founder and CEO. The global beef industry is valued at over US$350 billion annually, with a significant portion of producers still lacking modern management systems, presenting a substantial market opportunity for Cattler's digitalization efforts.
