We are a collection of engineers from McLaren, Microsoft, MIT etc on a mission to deploy autonomous sustainable greenhouses outside every city on earth. We believe this is critical for: 1) Securing our food system against extreme weather events caused by climate change; 2) Allowing nations to reduce their reliance on food imports; and 3) Making available healthy locally-grown food to people around the world.

We have proven significant yield outperformance with our technology and we are now in the process of building our first $100M commercial greenhouse in the US which will produce 60,000kg+ of tomatoes *daily*. We are backed by some great investors including Founders Fund and Wendy Tan (VP at Google X). $700BN of new greenhouses need to be built around the world. Come and help us build them!
