I received this email from one of my favourite brands "Katto Knives" the other day. It rang so true to me on why people who are growing companies need to take a step back and breathe a little. This time last year, I was invited by a venture capitalist company to pitch for investment. It was a flattering moment, especially considering the 'VC' had invested in numerous businesses I admire. I ordered one of those red and black notebooks from The Apprentice, ironed my shirt, and headed to Shoreditch. The room was filled with ex-Goldman, Stanford MBA, Patagonia-clad youngsters who were all genuinely lovely. However, it was clear from the start that 'venture' wasn't right for Katto. "'Fewer, better' is all well and good," said the head of the team. "But in VC World, more is more." I felt a bit deflated and responded, "We don't really do that." I chuckled about that meeting this morning because today we're launching a product that 'VC World' would absolutely hate. Our new BBQ skewers are tremendously fiddly to make, crafted in the UK using expensively recycled steel and human hands. Despite this, they perfectly embody what Katto aims to achieve. We want to make brilliant versions of things that are usually rubbish—things that last, work fantastically well, and bring joy to their owners. This approach might not be a recipe for financial fortune, but it is a rather lovely way to live. If you're interested, you can order our new skewers from https://katto.shop/ Here at vidcircle.co we also like to make sure hiring is better for everyone involved. Considered, crafted and if its slower than AI & automation its not a problem. #BBQ #SustainableLiving #QualityCraftsmanship

AgTech Ecosystem - FIRA USA 2024 is fast approaching, and I know that because next Tuesday (May 14) is our press conference to officially announce that we are coming to Yolo County Fairgrounds October 22-24 for 3 days of great content, in-field demonstrations, and the latest and greatest updates on automation solutions of all kinds that are coming to NorCal from all over the planet. As you might expect, it's one of my favorite weeks of the year! 1) In Fresno in 2022, we launched FIRA USA with our partners at FIRA - World Ag Robotics Forum (GOFAR Maialen CAZENAVE, Gwendoline Legrand, Elisa Abreu, Emma Fullagar) and UC ANR (Gabriel Youtsey, Hanif Houston, Lucie Cahierre) and did 3 days of automation content in the traditional event format with 1,000 attendees (3x our target audience) with 2 days inside and a day of field demos - a great launch event. 2) In Salinas in 2023, we flipped the script and put the event at the Salinas Rodeo Grounds and we kept everything at the same place for all 3 days. There was inside content and then a short walk to both the exhibit area and the field demo area, where we set up almost 4 acres of fresh vegetable automation demonstrations. Last year we had 2,000 attendees and we got the Farm Robotics Challenge top performers to join us at the event. We also had demos of vines and trees. 3) At Yolo County Fairgrounds, we are sticking with last year's event format. It turns out county fairgrounds are a pretty good location choice for this style of event. We will once again have on site content, exhibits, and demo areas for 3 days. We will also have access and very close proximity to many sorts of live trees and live vines. We are getting more collaboration with our nut and vine partners to really get them integrated into this year's event. Look for stuff on and off the fairgrounds in terms of demos and custom demos in October. Ben Palone will once again be organizing the demo area with support from Bartley Walker and Pacific Ag Rentals and our grow partners who help with water, seed, and growing the demo area (too many to name, they'll get plenty of call outs in the months coming as we get closer to FIRA USA 2024. And of course, the big news from last year was that starting this year (drumroll please!) GROWERS ARE FREE! That's right - growers are the VIPs of the show and we want as many there as we can get, so we've made it free and easy to participate. Come for a half day, come for a full day, come for all 3 days - we don't care, just come when it works for you and it's free! We are really excited to have everyone join us at Yolo County Fairgrounds in October, and next Tuesday gets things started. If you want to see the latest in specialty crop automation, it's in Yolo in October!

🌿 Exciting Project Update! 🌿 I’m thrilled to share my involvement in Petalique, an underdeveloped yet promising project that our team pitched during an ideathon at our college. Petalique aims to revolutionize plant identification and scanning technology, making plant exploration more accessible and informative. In this project, I’ve contributed to: • Information and Data Collection: Gathering and analyzing plant data to inform our technology’s development. • Concept Development: Shaping the core idea of Petalique to ensure it effectively bridges technology and nature. • Marketplace Strategy: Crafting strategies for a marketplace that will connect plant nurseries and organizations, offering valuable resources for plant enthusiasts and professionals. Working on Petalique has been a rewarding experience, allowing me to apply my skills in data-driven design and strategic planning. Excited to see where this innovative project goes next! #TechForGood #UIUX #PlantIdentification #Petalique #Innovation #DataDrivenDesign #Marketplace #Ideathon

This summer has been productive for lensor.io, marked by significant achievements and valuable learnings. Here are some highlights from July: 1. Growing User Base 🤝  We doubled our user base, and successfully onboarded more farmers to our platform. Our data-driven solution, designed to enhance resilience in agriculture, is gaining interest and traction. 2. MVP Developments 🔨  We made substantial progress on our Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The enhancements have been positively received by our users, bringing us closer to our official launch. 3. Pilot Projects and Collaborations 🚀 We secured exciting new collaborations and pilot projects. Climate-friendly and resilient agricultural practices are becoming increasingly important, and we look forward to sharing more details about these upcoming collaborations soon.

What happens when you give years of your life and spend and tonnes of money developing a product... Only to find people love it but not quite as much as they loathe paying for fine art storage? Time to think outside of the box (terrible pun but I just can't help myself). You convene competitors and invite them to collaborate instead of compete to build a rental network. Then people can hire your product when they need it, where they want it. It's certainly not without challenges but thanks to the coolest most forward-thinking people I know in shipping, we're making it work. ROKBOX LOOP is expanding into Geneva and Cologne this month, and adding capacity in London, bringing our total number of global rental hubs to 15! and more in the pipeline. I'm so happy to welcome Regency Shipping Limited along with Isabelle Harsch and Robin Harsch at Harsch, The Art of Moving Forward as the newest members of this first-of-its-kind collaboration. Thank you. And as ever, thanks to the people who helped launch ROKBOX LOOP; Oliver Howell Ida Ng Jason Bailer Losh Fritz Dietl Chris Bentley and of course the ROKBOX team Verity Brown Harriet Powell Chris Kneale Claudia Ruane. #startup #founder #circulareconomy #collaboration
