Verdical

Most produce travels hundreds of miles, and less than half of it ever reaches its destination presenting an opportunity to create a more sustainable system for bringing fresh produce to everyone, starting with food service.

Verdical onsite growth platform empowers users to grow a wide variety of fresh, flavorful herbs and vegetables. By eliminating transportation and storage we unlock a world of new plant options, allowing the creation of one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. The platform includes a compostable seed pod library, intelligent grow tower, and mobile application/grow community.

As a member of the five person startup I was responsible for platform design and strategy along with business and pitch content which led to a pilot program with US Foods and an acquisition offer from the indoor farming company, 80 Acres.
