Aigen, a Kirkland, WA-based scalable, solar-powered robotics platform for agriculture and soil regeneration, raised $4M in funding.

The round was led by NEA with participation from AgFunder, Global Founders Capital, and ReGen Ventures.

The company intends to use the funds to ramp up in 2022 and launch their platform to regenerate soil at a planetary scale.

Co-founded by Rich Wurden and Kenny Lee, Aigen is building an autonomous, solar-powered robotics platform that manages plants without the chemical inputs that undermine soil’s carbon storage potential. By bringing affordable alternatives to conventional practices, the platform will regenerate soil health and help farmers deal with the global agriculture manual labor shortage via closed-loop data collection, analysis, and action without diesel or pesticides.
