Brian Dawson of HarvestPort (part 1)

Brian Dawson, founder & CEO at HarvestPort, speaks on the importance of bridging the gap between technology and agriculture. He shares how he originally launched HarvestPort as a platform that allows agribusinesses to share their seasonally-used equipment and assets, so farmers can monetize idle equipment during their off-season. Known as the “Airbnb” of agriculture, HarvestPort allows participants to both lease and procure planting, harvesting, transportation and storage resources through an online marketplace. This episode of Voices of the Valley is a special two-parter. Tune in next week to hear how Dawson transformed his business into now a service-focused company.
