Silverton, OR

Building autonomous robotic greenhouses that produce certified-organic food locally, starting with a new commercial farm in Portland.

• Autonomous robotic greenhouse for local organic produce: Canopii operates a robotic greenhouse system designed to grow certified organic produce at local scale using automation for recurring grow-cycle tasks.
• Portland farm to validate the deployment model: The raise is used to build the first commercial farm in Portland, Oregon to validate unit economics, codify an operational playbook, and support equipment financing for future deployments.
• Manufacturing partnership supports scale: The greenhouse system is manufactured in the United States with GK Machine, with plans for mass production based on the full-scale prototype.
• On-site production with partner-provided space: Partners provide space while Canopii installs and operates the equipment, producing harvest for partner purchase near demand.
• Tech development for automated crop monitoring: Federal and impact support supports development work including pending applications for machine learning and computer vision to automate monitoring and environmental controls.

Canopii is raising seed capital to build its first commercial farm in Portland, Oregon. The proceeds are intended to validate unit economics in a live production environment, codify an operational playbook for repeatable deployments, and support equipment financing for subsequent farms. The company’s core product is an autonomous, robotic greenhouse that grows certified organic produce at local scale, reducing reliance on land, manual labor, and long-distance distribution. The system uses robotics for recurring grow-cycle tasks such as seeding, transplanting, harvesting, and cleaning. CCOF Certified Organic compliance is engineered into the design from the outset.

Canopii manufactures its greenhouse system in the United States with GK Machine, and it plans mass production from a full-scale operational prototype. The deployment model places production near demand: partners provide space, while Canopii installs and operates the equipment and produces harvest for partner purchase. The company targets premium retail niches, including packaged petite leafy greens and living herbs and lettuce. Federal support from USDA and NSF, along with strategic and impact investment, funds development work such as pending applications for machine learning and computer vision to automate crop monitoring and to steer environmental and fertigation systems. Traction includes commitments with New Seasons Market and an LOI with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Company Info

Canopii builds robotic greenhouses that grow certified organic produce locally using automation to reduce labor and distribution constraints.

Canopii designs and deploys robotic greenhouses that produce certified organic food within local markets. The company focuses on smaller, automation-first facilities that reduce dependence on land, seasonal labor, and long-distance distribution.

Its greenhouse system is built for end-to-end operation, handling repetitive tasks in the cultivation cycle and integrating mechanical, electrical, software, and plant system components. Manufacturing is supported through a long-term hardware partner, and each deployment is installed on-site with partners that provide the location and produce buyers that contract for harvest output.
