FarmWise Secures $45M Series B to Revolutionize Farming with AI-Driven Plant Intelligence

FarmWise is excited to announce a transformative funding milestone, having raised $45,000,000 to propel the future of precision agriculture and automated farming solutions. At FarmWise, our mission is clear—we believe that farming can be done at the plant level at scale, leveraging the diversity of biological systems to foster more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. This capital injection will enable us to further innovate and expand our cutting-edge technologies designed to revolutionize traditional farming operations. For years, FarmWise has operated a commercial fleet of automated weeder prototypes across the greater Salinas Valley in California, covering over 20,000 acres of active farming. Our journey of relentless research and learning culminated in the release of Vulcan in 2023—a state-of-the-art intra-row weeder and precision cultivator renowned for its durability and operational efficiency. Powered by our Intelligent Plant System (IPS), the most advanced computer vision architecture specifically tailored for agricultural applications, Vulcan stands as a testament to our commitment to merging technology with nature. The newly raised funds will be strategically utilized to accelerate the development of next-generation precision farming equipment, enhance our machine perception capabilities, and scale our commercial operations across additional agricultural landscapes. We are excited about the opportunity to empower farmers and ag equipment makers alike, redefining how cultivation is achieved in real-time and ensuring that every plant receives the attention it deserves. This funding round marks a significant step forward in our mission to reinvent farming through technology, and we look forward to a future where innovation and agriculture grow hand in hand.
