Rantizo is a precision ag company revolutionizing in-season field operations with drone applications. We are the only company approved for drone-based agricultural spraying in multiple states and the first approved for nationwide swarming for spraying, as well.

Labor shortages in agriculture are a universal problem. Rantizo addresses both the field needs of farmers and the business needs of custom applicators and agribusinesses.

Rantizo is more than just drone spraying. Our turnkey solution provides an end-to-end system of industry leading hardware and user-friendly software that integrates with existing digital ag tools to identify field issues and address them, precisely when and where needed.

The Rantizo drone applications system combines not just drones, but everything needed to legally Fly & Apply: Proprietary hardware and equipment, software to optimize productivity, licensing, support, and training. This integrated solution is first of its kind in leveraging the identification of in-field anomalies with autonomous targeted drone-based agricultural spraying.

The highest value to farmers is generated from delivering inputs precisely where they're needed, when they're needed. Rantizo is elevating precision ag to deliver this solution.

Mariah Scott United States - Portland, Oregon Metropolitan Area

A business builder who excels at creating clarity and growth in new markets, I've grown venture-backed startups and built operating divisions at public companies in the US, Europe and Asia. With extensive experience leading global teams in B2B software and services, I know how to develop founders, inspire innovation at public companies like Verizon and Intel, and drive exponential revenue growth by creating trust with large enterprise customers.

I'm an operator with experience scaling up– from raising a seed round to global commercialization to negotiating an exit strategy. I've managed acquisitions from both sides of the table, as well as partnerships and ecosystem development. I build resilient teams and leaders that can scale– from first dollar to enterprise deals at Verizon Skyward, or from print to digital worldwide with the multi-billion dollar Intel Inside program. My teams use trust, collaboration and healthy debate to do hard things and innovate... over and over again.

I've represented Verizon twice on the CES keynote stage, testified to Congress on national airspace policy, and spoken extensively on drones, robotics and innovation.

I'm committed to elevating female leaders and creating an inclusive environment in technology. In Portland, I serve as Board Chair for St. Mary's Academy and champion all-girls' education. Nationally, I helped introduce gender-neutral language in aviation as a member of the FAA’s Advanced Aviation Advisory Committee.
