Hippo Harvest secured $30 million in Series C funding to expand its robotic greenhouse operations from one acre to a planned 30-acre facility in Hollister, California, by late 2027. The company utilizes autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for tasks such as watering, fertilizing, and harvesting spinach and butter lettuce within a non-recirculating hydroponic system designed to prevent waterborne pathogens like Pythium. This investment supports the commercialization of their proprietary platform which applies warehouse logistics automation principles to agricultural settings.
