What AgTech founders get wrong about ROI

In Episode 268 of The Robot Report Podcast, our guest is Connie Bowen, the founding general partner of Farmhand Ventures, a venture fund with a focus on AgTech investments.

Farmhand Ventures is an impact-first investment firm shaping the future of work in agriculture. It enables strategic programs and innovation to make farm work more attractive, productive, profitable, and resilient — improving the lives and livelihoods of farmers, farmworkers, and rural communities.

A lifelong ag leader and engineer, Bowen has planted orchards, harvested hemp, and managed farm crews. That experience grounds her investment lens in the realities of the field.

Over the past decade, Bowen has built a career connecting agricultural technology with practical farming needs, holding roles at The Yield Lab, AgLaunch, Chess Ag Full Harvest Partners, and Grape Arbor Ventures before founding Farmhand.

Connie has backed dozens of agtech startups aligned with Farmhand’s mission — including L5 Automation, Scout, New West Genetics, and Nutt Bio.

WiBotic provides reliable wireless charging and fleet energy management for autonomous robots and other battery-powered systems.

This patented technology gives robots more freedom to charge throughout their normal workflow, helping increase the uptime, ROI, and safety of your fleet.

AMRs, drones, floor scrubbers, humanoids, and everything in between, WiBotic makes charging simple, seamless, and scalable.
