About Vineyard Robotics:

At Vineyard Robotics (a division of Orchard Robotics), we build AI-powered camera systems that mount on farm vehicles to scan vines and gather comprehensive data about every vine and the fruit it grows.

Our industry-leading technology provides vineyard managers & viticulturists with unprecedented insight into their vineyards, including accurate cluster counts, yield estimates, precise trunk inventories, vine-level disease detection, bud counts, shoot counts, canopy vigor measurements, and much more!

We're a seed-stage startup backed by leading VCs such as General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, Soma Capital, and Humba Ventures, along with notable angel investors such as Howard Lerman (founder of Yext).

We’re driven by our mission to enable farmers to produce more food for the world, much more efficiently. Every system deployed and every new vine analyzed means reduced waste and increased food production. Today, our technology is trusted by some of the largest vineyards and orchards across the nation.
