This sounds like an interesting intro, but tell us more!

What exactly do you offer / sell / solve?

How are you different from “VC-backed vertical indoor farming companies”?

It’s unclear from your message.

It's a SaaS + IoT + Plant Biology knowledge baked into one package. We are figuring things out on the fly as well (here's a link to one of the products https://www.hexafarms.com/main/hexaos). The aim is that the entire operations should be reduced to manual labor of handling the plants (and our software will inform you about that as well). Vertical indoor farming has been always close to my heart but at this point we address the wider space of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) in general.

Yikes! We are also going to be VC-backed soon. Went through Techstars recently. Hopefully, I'd have the humility to accept and not makes claims that go against the fundamental principles of physics, biology, and economics. Sorry but this is the best answer I could give.

This is super interesting to me! Super cool balance between sustainability, biology, and tech.

Not to Shill, but are you planning on hiring anytime soon?

Thanks. My email address is in my HN bio.
