WEST LAFAYETTE — Spensa Technologies Inc., a precision agricultural startup, received $1.3 million from multiple investors and venture programs to further develop an online pest management program, an electronic insect trapping device and to expand its business capabilities.

“We currently have a strong niche market in five continents around the globe, but we are ready to expand our brand and market share across the board,” said Johnny Park, president and CEO of Spensa and a Purdue research assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering. “This funding will enable us to hire sales reps in targeted areas such as California, and help us create strategic marketing partnerships in Australia, Brazil and other locations.”
