Growlink, a leading controlled environment agriculture (CEA) provider of advanced IoT controllers, sensors, and cultivation software, announced the closing of its $2 million seed funding round led by Casa Verde. And Growlink’s co-founders, Ted Tanner and David Holmes, built technology companies together for 26+ years with two previous exits and are dedicated to creating data-driven tools that empower growers to maximize their yield with minimal resources.
For the past 10 years, Growlink operated profitability without any external funding or debt – growing its customer base to over 2,200 active locations in 35 countries. And Growlink is currently utilized by a majority of US-based multi-state operators.
This funding will enable the company to expand its AI capabilities and enhance its third-party integration platform. And this ensures that any hardware can connect to the Growlink cloud. Users will gain access to Growlink’s advanced control algorithms, cultivar blueprints, and AI crop steering programs. The current integrations include Agrowtek, Trolmaster, Pulse Grow, and Aranet wireless sensors. These integrations make sophisticated cultivation technology accessible to growers of all scales, enabling them to achieve higher yields and better quality crops.
Casa Verde offers deep industry expertise and strategic guidance, having invested in the most critical solutions across the cannabis supply chain.
