Seattle-based Carbon Robotics, a leading agricultural robotics startup, has announced the successful completion of its Series C funding round, raising an impressive $30 million. The round was led by Liquid 2 Ventures and joined by Anthos Capital, Voyager Capital, Sozo Ventures, Fuse Capital, and IGNITION PARTNERS, all of whom have demonstrated their faith in the company's vision and disruptive technology.
Carbon Robotics was founded in 2018 by Paul Mikesell with the aim of empowering farmers to operate more efficiently and sustainably. The company builds innovative agricultural tools that leverage sophisticated AI technology to improve crop quality, reduce overall costs associated with modern farming, and create sustainable paths to regenerative and organic agriculture.
Carbon Robotics' flagship product, the Autonomous LaserWeeder, is a high-precision laserweeding tool that improves the efficiency of weed removal while reducing labor costs and providing safer working conditions for farmers. The product has received immense praise from the farming community and has been commercially available since April 2021. The company recently unveiled its new LaserWeeder implement, which promises to deliver even greater efficiency and productivity gains.
With the new funding, Carbon Robotics plans to accelerate the development of its cutting-edge technology, expand its product offerings, and increase its global footprint. The company is committed to helping farmers leverage the power of AI and robotics to transform the way they farm. This funding round represents a significant milestone in the company's journey.
