Greenzie secures $750,000 investment

Greenzie secured a $750,000 investment in a second round of funding to develop software to deploy a robotic mowing program. Atlanta Ventures (David Cummings) led the round with additional investors including Swift Straw (Matt Lowe), TechSquare Labs, Kenvil Power Mower (Glenn R. Beyerl), Reliance Advisors (Dan Campbell), Carswell Distributing Company (Will Parsley), Tom Noonan, Kyle Porter, Allen Graber and Raul Velarde. This round included new strategic investors and multiple follow-on investors.

“I’ve worked alongside the Greenzie team since its inception and it’s incredible to see the combination of authentic customer demand and the powerful robotic software helping eliminate repetitive labor,” said David Cummings, Atlanta Ventures partner. “Greenzie is going to define the outdoor robotics industry in Atlanta and the greater region.” 

Greenzie is the first company to launch from the Atlanta Ventures studio and has raised a total of $1.3M in funding in two rounds, according to figures from Crunchbase.

This investment funds the delivery of Greenzie’s Green Glove Service — a robotic mowing program powered by Greenzie robotic technicians equipped with robotic enabled, auto-striping mowers. These crews will mow lawns for some of the largest landscaping companies in the U.S. and several of the largest landscaping companies in the metro-Atlanta area. Funds will also be used for enhancing and improving the software powering the technology and expansion.

 “Our customers need help: the time is now to use software and robotics to do the repetitive parts of lawn maintenance,” said Greenzie CEO and co-founder Charles Brian Quinn. “Our big mission to free humans from repetitive outdoor labor just got some serious firepower behind it. Our customers, who are smart business owners, employers and hardworking pioneers, will be rewarded. And the landscapers on our waiting list will be happy to hear we’re expanding and growing.”

Greenzie’s customer list includes HighGrove Partners, Russell Landscape and ‍BrightView.

“Labor is our No. 1 issue right now,” said Jim McCutcheon, HighGrove Partners. “The thing is, we don’t want to reduce our overall headcount, we want to enhance the number of people that we can employ — the problem is trying to find those folks. With access to the Greenzie software, it takes away the mundane tasks of mowing and lets us focus on finding those folks.”
