Why We Backed Koidra: Scaling the Future of Smarter Farming
At Redstick, we’re always looking for founders who don’t just build tools — they solve industry bottlenecks. That’s why we invested in Koidra, a company redefining how controlled environment agriculture (CEA) scales. While greenhouses promise efficiency and resilience, they hit a wall when it comes to expertise: you can build more structures, but you can’t clone your best growers.
Koidra changes that. With a system-agnostic, autonomous control platform built by Dr. Kenneth Tran — a two-time winner of the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge — Koidra isn’t just analyzing data; it’s making real-time decisions that boost yields and cut energy use. No retrofits, no hand-holding. Just smarter growing, at scale.
This is what the future of food looks like: AI that works with humans, not around them, and a platform ready to become the backbone of high-tech agriculture. We're proud to be on this journey with the Koidra team.
Why We Invested: Science on Call
Why We Invested in Science on Call
"Science on Call is reinventing restaurant tech support—streamlining assistance across every system, device, and channel. Restaurants today run on a complex ecosystem of technology, and when those systems fail, the impact is immediate and costly. What impressed us most is how perfectly tailored Science’s solution is to the restaurant environment: 24/7 support via text, call, or email, immediate human response, and restaurant-specific expertise.
By combining a decade of data with AI-enabled tools, they’ve created a platform that turns any employee into a tech troubleshooter—no IT team required. Their strong unit economics, deep domain knowledge, and proprietary data moat position them to dominate not only the restaurant industry but adjacent verticals as well. We’re thrilled to back the Science on Call team as they transform how restaurants (and beyond) handle technical issues in real time."

Why We Invested: Gastronomous
Gastronomous isn’t trying to replace the heart of the restaurant. They’re building the muscle behind it.
