Rugged AI needs a place to get its hands dirty, and RESERVOIR is building the farm to do it. The company has raised $8.0M in a Seed round to expand its network of on-farm startup incubators, which are designed to help agricultural robotics and automation companies move from promising prototype to working reality.
RESERVOIR’s model is a two-part bet: its Farms give startups a real-world testing ground in active agricultural settings, while its venture arm backs the most promising graduates and connects them with corporate partners for integration. The fresh capital will go toward scaling that incubator infrastructure, aiming to close the gap between lab success and field deployment-an urgent need for an industry under pressure to automate.
