Carbon Robotics, an AI-powered farming technology provider, including the LaserWeeder, is transforming precision agriculture by increasing crop yield and promoting non-chemical solutions as it expands into global markets. It has raised $70 million in Series D funding.
This latest round was led by BOND, with additional contributions from existing investors, including NVIDIA’s NVentures, Anthos Capital, Fuse Venture Capital, and Sozo Ventures. The funding brings Carbon Robotics’ total financing to $157 million, further cementing its position as a pioneer in the agricultural technology space.
With this infusion of capital, Carbon Robotics plans to scale its flagship product, the LaserWeeder, which uses advanced AI-powered farming techniques to eliminate weeds with millimeter accuracy. This technology, which has already eradicated over 10 billion weeds across 100 different crop types without herbicides or hand labor, is reshaping how farmers approach precision agriculture.
“This funding represents a pivotal milestone not just for our company but for farmers and consumers worldwide,” said Paul Mikesell, CEO and founder of Carbon Robotics.
Expanding into Global Markets with Non-Chemical Solutions
This funding will help Carbon Robotics expand its AI-powered farming solutions into new global markets. The company has ambitious plans to enter Eastern and Southern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
The LaserWeeder has proven itself as an essential tool for farmers in North America, Europe, and Australia, enabling them to significantly reduce weed control costs by up to 80 percent while increasing crop yield and quality. Carbon Robotics also contributes to sustainable farming practices by using non-chemical weed elimination, which is increasingly crucial in today’s environmental landscape.
“We’re leading a transformative shift, and this investment accelerates our ability to pioneer AI and robotics that will reshape farming for generations to come. I’m excited to have the strong backing of BOND and existing investors like NVentures and to welcome Mood Rowghani to our Board,” added Paul Mikesell.
New Products and Manufacturing Expansion from Carbon Robotics
In addition to geographical expansion, Carbon Robotics will utilize the Series D funding to introduce new software and hardware products. This includes scaling up its manufacturing capabilities in Eastern Washington to meet the growing global demand for AI-powered farming products.
By integrating AI, robotics, and computer vision, Carbon Robotics is paving the way for the future of precision agriculture, allowing farmers to increase efficiency while maintaining environmental stewardship.
Carbon Robotics’ commitment to innovation has earned the company several accolades. Recently, it was featured on CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators, and Fortune’s Change the World list. These achievements underscore the company’s impact in driving sustainable solutions in farming and its vision to transform the global agriculture industry through AI-powered farming technology with technology like LaserWeeder.
AI-Powered Farming as the Future of Agriculture
As the demand for sustainable, non-chemical farming practices continues to grow, Carbon Robotics is at the forefront of this movement. Its AI-powered farming systems empower farmers to reduce costs and improve the quality and quantity of their harvests. With further expansions and a dedicated focus on advancing precision agriculture, the company’s technology is set to revolutionize farming worldwide.
“Carbon Robotics is uniquely positioned to deploy AI to transform the massive agriculture industry at a critical time. Its proven ability to execute and scale and a visionary leadership team make it a clear standout in the space. This investment reflects our strong conviction in the central role Carbon Robotics will play in shaping the future of farming,” said Mood Rowghani, general partner at BOND.
