A Queensland couple’s decade-long push to lead the world in the production of agricultural robots has received a multi-million-dollar funding boost.
Andrew and Jocie Bate’s ambitious start-up SwarmFarm has partnered with ag-tech venture capital firm Tenacious Ventures to raise $4.5 million.
“We’ve bootstrapped to date, which means we’ve done it ourselves without raising funds to get to where we are,” Mr Bate said.
