Agtech Startup Cattler Secures US$2 Million to Scale AI and Cattle Operations Technology
Cattler raised US$2 million to expand its livestock management platform, accelerate AI development, and scale operations across the Americas livestock industry.
Cattler, the agtech startup focused on digital solutions for livestock operations, secured a US$2 million investment round as it continues expanding across the Americas and strengthening its technology platform for cattle producers.
The company, which operates from Buenos Aires and Lincoln, Nebraska, attracted investment from Homegrown Capital, Grit Road Partners, Invest Nebraska and SDH Capital.
With the latest transaction, the startup has now accumulated US$4.5 million in funding since 2019.
Cattler develops cloud-based software for livestock operations
Founded by Ignacio Albornoz alongside Martín Garbulsky and Ezequiel Conti, the company developed a mobile and cloud-based management platform initially focused on feedlot operations. The solution has since expanded toward broader livestock management.
According to Albornoz, the platform centralizes operational data collection, third-party integrations and economic management tools within a single interface designed for small, medium and large-scale cattle operations.
The system allows producers to manage feeding schedules, animal movement, health treatments, inventory and cattle purchases in real time. It also integrates with accounting and analytics software, scales, electronic identification readers and dosing systems from external providers.
Platform aims to reduce operational costs for cattle producers
Cattler says its technology can save between one and three hours of daily work by automating data entry processes.
The startup also estimates operational savings between 5% and 15% in food supply and medication management.
Beyond operational efficiency, the company has started offering additional data-driven services related to risk management and cattle and feed commercialization.
“Cattler is our main product and acts as an operational and management system for livestock businesses,” explained Albornoz, who also works as an Agricultural Economics researcher at Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Startup expands across the Americas
Cattler currently operates in eight countries: the United States, Argentina, Paraguay, Canada, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile and the Dominican Republic.
The startup is also entering Mexico and Brazil as part of its regional expansion strategy.
Among its clients in Argentina and Uruguay are the owners of Frigorífico Rioplatense, Salentein, the Thyssen family and the Galperín family feedlot operations.
In the United States, its client base includes Elanco and the Gottsch group. The company generated US$1 million in revenue during 2025.
Cattler reached break-even and plans to triple revenue
With a team of 20 employees, Cattler expects to increase its workforce by 50% following the latest investment round.
The startup reached financial break-even during the fourth quarter of last year, supported by the daily management of approximately 950,000 cattle heads through its platform.
Now, the company aims to triple revenue within the next 18 months.
According to Albornoz, the addressable market for Cattler’s SaaS model represents approximately US$640 million annually among cattle breeders, plus another US$100 million in the feedlot segment.
Investors see growth opportunities in livestock data integration
For Mayco Mansilla, Cattler’s penetration into the United States market demonstrates the startup’s scalability.
“Most feedlots in South Dakota are already using Cattler. The next challenge is scaling the number of companies using the platform while exploring business opportunities through supply chain integration,” Mansilla said.
The investor also highlighted the commercial value of the data generated by the platform, particularly information related to animal feeding and health conditions, which could become valuable for meat processors and consumer-facing businesses seeking more traceability.
Artificial intelligence becomes next phase of development
One of the startup’s next priorities is incorporating breeding and rearing data into the platform while adding more automation tools for large-scale livestock operations.
The roadmap also includes fintech integrations, cattle commercialization tools and risk management solutions.
Artificial intelligence will play a central role in the next stage of product development.
According to Albornoz, the company plans to use AI to automate data collection, event registration, diet creation and lot management. The technology will also support routine operational tasks such as feed management, cattle movement, settlements, analytics and customer support through the app.
