Founder Stories x Hydrovertic “Our integrated vertical farming solution for industry greenhouses increases the production capacity five-fold per m2 and reduces manual labour by 30%. Furthermore, we will reduce emissions significantly and increase revenue by 18-20%. We wanted to commit fully to our startup, but we needed to support ourselves while finishing our development. Innofounder is a program that supports you where you need it and helps you locate and fill holes in your startup. The most valuable thing we have gotten out of Innofounder is support from our mentor, who mentored us through some difficult times. There is no other program, like Innofounder, that manages to meet the startups where they are and create growth and innovation across complexity, fields and areas. You get funds to focus on, resources to grow and mentoring on utilising this in the best way. There is zero downside.” – Iris M.
