Backing an incredible mission, team, and technology to apply AI and robotics to address Central California opportunities and imperatives
At HawkTower, we support high-potential startups that leverage AI to address Central California's unique opportunities and imperatives. Our first strategic investment, in Farm-ng’s Series A funding round, perfectly embodies this vision. Backing local companies like Farm-ng (and entrepreneurs like Ethan, Claire and Brendan) lights the region’s path.
Robotics & AI at the Forefront of AgTech
Based in Watsonville, Farm-ng’s efforts in the agricultural sector align seamlessly with HawkTower’s strategic focus.
Farm-ng is revolutionizing agriculture with its modular and multifaceted Amiga robot, backed by an active developer community. By collaborating with a diverse group of small to mid-sized farms and academic institutions, Farm-ng actively hones their AI and robotics solutions for practical agricultural use. Farm-ng priorities training the workforce, elevating farm management through analytics, and bolstering agricultural resilience.
Our investment in Farm-ng aligns seamlessly with our ethos of nurturing innovation in Central California. We are committed to supporting trailblazing entrepreneurs and startups that promise to transform the region’s economic and social fabric.
Partnership with Visionary Investors
Joining us in this funding round are esteemed firms like Acre Venture Partners, leading the Series A, and Xplorer Capital, whose collective confidence in Farm-ng’s vision reflects a shared commitment to transforming agriculture. This collaborative effort among key investors demonstrates the growing recognition of the potential impact of AI and robotics in this sector.
Our involvement with Farm-ng is a significant step towards realizing a future where regenerative, efficient, and technologically advanced farming practices are widespread. We are excited to see how this investment will propel Farm-ng to scale up production, expand market reach, and develop an ecosystem of third-party applications that support the thriving of farms for generations.
We’re looking forward to partnering with Ethan, Claire, and Brendan for many Amigas to come.
