CHAPEL HILL — Mesur.io, a company that tackles the market of measuring and monitoring in-ground environmental data, has raised $350,000, according to a filing Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The $350,000 was raised in equity and raised from a single investor.

The company got its start in 2016. It is led by Chief Executive Officer Tom Rump and Mike Prorock, the chief technology officer and founder. Rump is also the founder and principal of Moore Park Advisors, and prior to Measur.io, Prorock was the director of the Emerging Technologies Bardess Group.

“The mesur.io analytics platform analyzes the data, combines it with other sources of information such as soil and plant databases, satellite imagery and weather forecasts to make concise recommendations back to you. Or if desired, it can automate processes such as irrigation. Additionally, mesur.io works with all sorts of sensor data, and can leverage your existing data to help enable smarter decisions, savings in labor, water, and raw materials,” the company says.
