Growcer is at the forefront of revolutionizing agriculture. Its containerized hydroponic farms are a game-changer, empowering communities, retailers and organizations to grow local produce year-round. The company’s mission is rooted in providing accessible, locally grown greens while creating a profitable, sustainable model for all-seasons farming. The company’s innovative container farms can yield up to 10,466 pounds of produce annually within a compact 40-foot by 10-foot space, significantly surpassing indus- try averages. This breakthrough technology enables year- round local farming in areas where it was previously con- sidered challenging or impossible. SOFII funding will be instrumental in helping Growcer evolve its go-to-market strategy. The company aims to transition from smaller, impact-focused projects to com- mercial-scale initiatives that will drive large-scale adop- tion of hyper-local growing using vertical farming. “The SOFII funding will enable us to invest in furthering our growth in the next year. SOFII’s support could not come at a better time,as we are seeing increasing interest in our technology across Canada and internationally.” — Corey Ellis, Co-founder and CEO “We’ll use SOFII funding to invest in several regions where we see high potential for growth. We are thrilled at this outcome and look forward to continuing to scaleour business, based here in the southern Ontario region.” — Alida Burke, Co-founder and CFO
