Ranchbot raises over $15 million Series B, moves global HQ to Fort Worth

Ranchbot closed a Series B round of more than US$15 million and set up a Delaware parent company as it shifts its global headquarters to Fort Worth, Texas. The funding is meant to speed product development, expand teams in the U.S. and Australia, and widen the company’s ranch technology platform.

Why it matters: - Ranchbot is using fresh capital to push deeper into ranch water management and broader livestock operations. - The company’s U.S. holding-company move puts Fort Worth at the center of its global expansion. - The round signals continued investor appetite for agtech tools tied to labor savings, climate resilience and operational efficiency.
