She Quit Corporate, Bought a Vineyard, and Built an AI Company in Tasmania ~ Fiona Turner

Hey Crew! Picture this: you walk away from a successful corporate tech career, buy a vineyard in Tasmania with your partner, and dream about the simple life. Then the vineyard goes haywire, you're burning through money, and you can't get anyone to come help. Most people sell up. Fiona Turner built an AI company instead. Fiona is the co-founder and CEO of Bitwise Agronomy — an AI platform now operating in 10 countries, with 3 petabytes of berry data (for context, ChatGPT was trained on 1), 89% revenue growth this year, and $5 million raised. All from Launceston, Tasmania. We get into: How a broken vineyard became a $5M AI company The pivot from wine to berries and why vineyards just wouldn't pay Building drone swarms, vine rovers, and sensor networks from scratch with a kids robotics club Raising capital as a female founder when only 4% of Aussie startup funding goes to women Having a baby mid-capital raise while Silicon Valley Bank collapsed (her daughter flew 50 flights in her first year of life) What it actually takes to become the Google of forecasting One of the most honest, unfiltered conversations we've had on the show. Follow Fiona on LinkedIn and check out Bitwise Agronomy.
