Canopii's mission is to build a more sustainable and resilient food system through smarter farming. To do so, we are developing robotic greenhouse farms that use cost-effective end-to-end labor automation and energy reduction systems to optimize local food production.Canopii is an Oregon company supported by ONAMI, Business Oregon, Elevate Capital, Ideaship, Vertuelab, and Willamette Valley Capital. In addition, Canopii has received a Phase I and Phase II Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Science Foundation. At Canopii, I focus on mechanical engineering and product development, business development, and investor relations. We are a small but growing company. If you are interested in joining the team in Oregon, please message me.
