FarmBot Inc has raised $22.0M in a Series B round, a sizable bet on the idea that open-source hardware can crack the agricultural market. The company, which designs and sells DIY farming robot kits alongside software services, has kept its entire platform open-source since day one-a stance that now has financial backing from a notably broad investor group.
The round draws in Lewis & Clark Partners, Fulcrum Global Capital, Builders VC, Level VC, Meat & Livestock Australia鈥檚 Cultiv8 Livestock Technology Fund, and Macdoch Ventures. That mix spans generalist tech funds and agriculture-focused players, suggesting the pitch resonated beyond just agtech insiders. FarmBot鈥檚 kits are aimed at small-scale and precision farming, though the company hasn鈥檛 detailed specific expansion plans for the new capital.
