Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup backed by top VCs like Quiet Capital, Shine Capital, and General Catalyst. We're securing America’s food supply by building the AI farmer that automates our nation’s farms. We start by collecting the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on their millions of trees, across thousands of acres of farmland. We do this using advanced camera systems we build, that take pictures of every one of the billions of fruit in a farm. This data lives in our cloud data platform, FruitScope, that we've developed from the ground up to help farmers manage their crops with precision. Farmers across the nation use our industry-leading software to look at their data, make critical decisions, and command farming operations on a daily basis. Our technology is used today across some of the largest farms in the nation.

The team at Pattern is leveraging our experience building sophisticated autonomous robots to address pressing industrial applications. Our robots operate both indoors and outdoors, around people and vehicles. We're riding the sweet spot between cutting-edge r&d and actual solution scaling. Our goal is to build the most capable autonomy systems for the most challenging unstructured environments in the solar system by quickly scaling, learning, and delivering real value by solving stepping stone applications immediately. We can do this because we love the thrill of adventure and exploration. The thrill of being pioneers. It's partly our Colorado roots, beckoning us to go faster/bigger/further than anyone before. We have mountains to climb! (figuratively & literally) .
