Reply to comment by somecreativehandle in Anyone confirm if Fifth Season is shutting down their business? by Big-Cockroach-5986

Do you know what their eventual plans were? Would they have continued to build the robots, and grow, market, and distribute the produce? Or sell the equipment to a grocery chain or produce distributor?

It’s my understanding that the robotics and the mechanics were very confidential which lends me the idea that the equipment will most likely be destroyed unless they sell the “patents”.

The VCs will want to sell the IP.

It just seems the best business model would be to license the technology to a Whole Foods or weggmans or giant eagle. Let them do the marketing and distribution.
