Strawberry farming is a $3B industry in California alone with 60% labor cost using 40-year old software. Synphony provides strawberry picking robots and software services including: bed-level analytics, data pipeline integration, and agentic solutions.
Synphony's "side hustle" is selling data, evals, and viral demos to robot foundation labs while building capacity for general robot deployments. We've started with strawberry farming for great margins and outdoor data moat, but also received requests for robots in semi-conductors and autonomous space labs.
Synphony's team has won over 15 hackathons together (taking home 4 Jensen-signed GPUs!). Sean did ML research at NVIDIA and led AI products used by IRS and Citibank. Lucas' research spanned robotics, IoT devices, and neuromorphic computing. Alex architected an app with 400k users.
