PlantSense Kicks-Off Beta Program!
New Internet-Connected Device Will Help Ensure Plants Thrive
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. June 16, 2008. – PlantSense, a pioneer in Internet-enabled gardening tools, has received $3.5 million in Series A funding from Gabriel Ventures and independent investors. Working in combination with its free Internet service, the PlantSense tool recommends which plants will thrive in a specific location and diagnoses what is wrong with ailing plants. The device, due to be launched later this year, can be used year-round in homes and gardens. “Americans spend $21 billion annually on plants, but a third of those plants die within a year,” said Matthew Glenn, CEO for PlantSense. “For many people, gardening, and especially figuring out what to plant where, is a frustrating and expensive process of trial and error. PlantSense’s device will be like having a botanist in your pocket making it easier and less work to enjoy thriving plants.”
