TerraForce has successfully raised $375,000 in an oversubscribed funding round. This strong investor interest highlights the growing demand for AI-driven agricultural solutions that enhance productivity and reduce labor dependency.
Founded in 2024 by Michial J. Jacob, TerraForce aims to solve the farm labor crisis by developing AI-powered robotic systems for specialty crop production.
Jacob, a former engineer and entrepreneur, brings extensive experience in scaling high-growth businesses. His expertise enables TerraForce to deliver cost-effective and reliable solutions to modern farming challenges.
“Farmers are seeking efficient, data-driven solutions to improve productivity,” said Mike Jacob, Founder and CEO of TerraForce. “This funding accelerates our development, allowing us to launch our MVP for the 2025 harvest season and revolutionize fruit production.”
Unlike traditional labor-intensive harvesting, TerraForce’s autonomous robots operate 24/7, offering greater precision, grading accuracy, and predictive analytics. By reducing human handling, the technology minimizes contamination risks and enhances compliance with safety regulations.
With the new funding, TerraForce will expand its engineering team, refine its robotic capabilities, and implement its go-to-market strategy.
The company is committed to providing advanced and profitable harvesting solutions for farmers, ensuring a more efficient and sustainable future for agriculture.
