Sonicflora announced Thursday that it has secured €240k in a funding round led by Swedish state-owned VC Almi Invest. LiU Invest (the VC arm of Linköping University) and several business angels also participated in the round.
Impact Loop spoke to CEO Robin Jansson, who founded the company together with Henrik Niss and Oscar Davidsson, to find out more about their AI solution that aims to help growers understand what their tomatoes are saying about their health.
