FarmDrive is a technology company that applies data science and finance to build software that
increases access to meaningful financial services. FarmDrive’s mission is to drive capital to underserved rural clients and transform them into sustainable and profitable businesses. The core strategy is to build meaningful technology platforms and efficient processes to drive capital where it’s needed most.
