"I never wanted to be part of the agricultural sector, but then my co-founder got me into the topic, and it became important to me."
"We realized the price point customers wanted was around €2,000, but our system would have cost at least €10,000, so we pivoted from a B2C to a B2B product."
"It's always great to see the initial reactions of young students when you talk to them about vertical farming, because most of them haven't heard about it."
