  • Upside Robotics raised $7.5 million in seed funding led by Plural with participation from Garage Capital, Entrepreneurs First, and founders of Clearpath Robotics.
  • Funding will enable scaling of autonomous solar-powered fertilizer robots across more acreage and expansion into the U.S. Corn Belt.
  • Robots have logged significant field data and operations, supporting precision nutrient delivery and reduced fertilizer waste.

Upside Robotics develops autonomous, solar-powered agricultural robots for precision fertilizer application in row crops. Its lightweight systems navigate crop rows to deliver nutrients directly to root zones, reducing waste and improving yield efficiency.
