Four Growers

Four Growers, founded by a group of University of Pittsburgh students, operates in the industrials sector with a specific focus on agriculture. Located in Pittsburgh, PA, the company has a team of 14 employees and serves regions across the United States and Canada. As a participant in the Y-Combinator S18 batch, Four Growers developed a robotic system capable of harvesting tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, performing quality checks, and packaging the produce. The company aims to reduce production costs and increase the accessibility of fresh produce through advanced robotics and analytics. They offer a demo request for their products and utilize dual layers of protection, including patents for the robot’s physical design and a proprietary decision-making algorithm. Recently, they have expanded their technology to include cucumber harvesting, continuing their commitment to sustainability by integrating hardware and software solutions.
