Evan Rankin is Co-Founder at Verdex, a Y Combinator-backed agriculture technology platform providing asset intelligence for farmland.

Evan studied at Dartmouth College before co-founding Verdex with Jad Bousselham in 2025.

Verdex uses satellite imagery and weather data to create persistent, time-anchored records of what happens on every acre of farmland. This technology turns land into a measurable asset whose outcomes can be audited objectively at scale.

Verdex was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch and is based in San Francisco. The company received $2,000 in early funding through Dartmouth's Magnuson Center for entrepreneurship.

Verdex's platform enables better decision-making for stakeholders in futures markets, insurance, and agricultural supply chains by providing real-time agriculture intelligence.
