The Small Robot Company: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
The Small Robot Company has built a team from Deep Mind, Dyson, IBM, Virgin Galactic and Formula 1 to revolutionise the way that technology is used to create food, by delivering per plant farming for the world’s biggest crops. This radical approach is focused on using lightweight autonomous vehicles providing near-real time view of each crop plant as it grows through the season. This is called per plant intelligence. We then using this view to deliver precise, timely interventions to make that plant reach its full potential. This is called per plant action. By doing this, we are stripping out all the inefficiencies and vast overuse of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and fertiliser. …And because we do not disturb or compact the soil, we allow the ecosystem of a field to do what it does best. Fix itself. Per plant intelligence is commercially available now for UK farmers, and some of the world’s largest providers of crop seed, nutrients and protection. Per plant action will come online from October 2022.

About FundedIQ's The Small Robot Company Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for The Small Robot Company is left off this page rather than filled in.
