Greenzie, founded in 2018, has raised a $1.5 million seed round to roll out automated mower fleets to existing customers.
Greenzie CEO Charles Quinn and David Cummings, a local serial tech entrepreneur and investor, led the round. TechSquare Labs and Reliance Advisors, among other investors, also participated. Cummings co-founded Greenzie through the Atlanta Ventures Studio program. Greenzie has $3 million in total investments to date.
Greenzie is the first company to launch from the Atlanta Ventures Studio, which helps entrepreneurs build their startups from scratch and provides resources and investments in exchange for co-founding the businesses. Quinn said that team has been a huge help in deciding the trajectory of the startup.
The company creates software that automates commercial lawn maintenance for landscaping companies such as BrightView. The startup partners with Wright Manufacturing to produce the hardware.
With the new funds, Quinn said they’re delivering Wright-manufactured mowers with Greenzie software to their existing customers. Those customers have been using Greenzie's mowers and robotic technicians alongside their landscaping crews this past season.
