Antonie

Over Antonie

Antonie was founded in October 2021 by Bob Klein Lankhorst, Peter den Hartog, and Jerome H. Mol, uniting expertise in soil biology, AI & data science, and business scaling. Our shared vision: revealing the hidden life in soil to unlock its power for a healthier planet.

By focusing on nematodes—nature’s best indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem function—and taking a holistic approach to land and crop management, Antonie develops advanced tools to transform agriculture and land stewardship. As telescopes revealed the universe above, we are opening a new window into the universe below our feet.

Our name pays tribute to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the 17th-century Dutch pioneer who first described nematodes with his self-built microscope. His spirit of curiosity and precision shapes our mission today. Harnessing modern technology, we make the invisible visible, empowering farmers, labs, seed breeders, and society to monitor ecosystems and sustain life for generations to come.
