BinSentry secures $50M to expand feed supply chain tech

Aug 18, 2025

BinSentry has raised $50 million in a Series C round led by Lead Edge Capital to accelerate its global expansion, according to a company-issued press release.

The Canadian agtech firm develops AI-powered sensors and software that track on-farm feed levels in real time, aiming to reduce waste and prevent shortages. Its technology, already used by companies such as Cargill, Wayne-Sanderson Farms and Hanor, currently monitors more than 40,000 bins across North America and Brazil.

Cargill recently became the exclusive distributor of BinSentry’s platform in Brazil, strengthening the company’s foothold in the region.

As part of the funding, former Dell executive Paul Bell will join BinSentry’s board of directors.

Lead Edge Capital principal Aaron Darr said the firm sees BinSentry as a strong example of agtech innovation with “real customer traction using AI, real-time data, and automation to solve critical problems.”

Video: Genetics Behind Swine Resilience - Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, explains how genetics can improve disease resilience in pigs. She explores how resilience differs from resistance, the role of genetic variation, and how breeding strategies can enhance health and performance under disease pressure. Dr. Dunkelberger also covers practical applications and future implications for swine production. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Controlled experimental trials confirm that differences in mortality and performance under disease pressure are linked to genetic background, even when environmental conditions remain consistent."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger / jenelle-dunkelberger-9200ab86 is a geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, where she leads the Global Health and Behavior Research Platform. She earned her PhD from Iowa State University, focusing on host genetics and disease response in pigs. Her work centers on improving swine health and performance through genetic selection for resilience and behavior traits.
