Virginia Venture Partners invests in Babylon Micro-Farms

The driving force behind this investment is a consumer trend gaining traction nationwide: an escalating demand for fresh, organic produce. However, the supply chains involved in delivering fresh, organic produce are often long and costly.

“Babylon is steadfast in the belief that everyone deserves access to fresh and affordable food,” says Alexander Olesen, CEO and Co-Founder of Babylon. The VIPC’s continuous support and investment, he says, “are instrumental in our mission to make the world’s simplest micro farm accessible to everyone.”

Babylon offers over 45 varieties of leafy greens, herbs, micro-greens, and edible flowers, all grown under ideal conditions through its IoT platform. This platform controls food growth cycles remotely and offers remote management, a digital support library, and person-to-person assistance, providing a full-service solution. It even guides users through each process step, from planting to harvesting, through alerts and instructional videos. This makes the platform a game-changer for beginners in produce cultivation.
