Thrilled to partner with @tricrobotics @adamstager as they bring robotics to the field. Helping farmers grow better food—without chemicals—is the kind of robot future we're very excited to see!
We just raised a $5.5M Seed Round led by @versiononevc to transform how farmers protect our food. 🌱🤖 Chemical sprays aren’t working anymore. Our robot, Luna, uses UV light + automation to fight pests + disease—no chemicals needed. We're just getting started.

So... why did we invest in a large six-figure robot in ag tech / farming? 1) @tricrobotics does what humans can't 2) being huge is a competitive advantage which unlocks more capabilities in the future 3) high cost to build = higher barrier to entry 4) @adamstager is brilliant

Hardtech is a lot easier when your first market is big enough to get you to profitability AND is within driving distance of your office. #hardtech #agtech #strawberry
