A South African agritech startup, Homefarm, has announced securing R1.7m (approximately $100,000) in a seed funding round.
PixelBlue, the parent company of Homefarm, disclosed the raiser in a media release on Monday.
Homefarm claims it’s a fully automated indoor farm and farming-as-a-service with models that allow users grow their food.
Michael Currin launched Homefarm along with his team in 2017.
Chief executive of CapaciTech, which partook in the funding, Matthew Emanuel expressed optimism about the funding.
“We are confident about the positive trend in the smart indoor farming tech space, and feel very positive about playing an active part in Homefarm’s journey,” he added.
