Trym raises $3.1M seed to grow its cannabis cultivation platform

Commercial cannabis operations often rely on software platforms to track and forecast crops from seed to sale. Trym today is announcing a large $3.1M seed round that will help the company expand its software offering.

Trym’s solution offers commercial growers a robust set of features, including integration with the regulatory platform Metrc and environmental sensors. Using the system, growers gain a powerful tool to grow their plants and business thanks to comprehensive analytics capabilities and operations management.

Trym’s seed round came from friends and family, along with notable investors. Out of the $3.1M round, $1M came from friends and family. At the same time, 7thirty Capital and Delta Emerald Ventures co-led the preferred round of $2.1M with participation from Welcan Capital, Arcview Collective Fund, and others. Trym says the round was oversubscribed.

“Our investors are a perfect match with Trym’s DNA,” said Matt Mayberry, CEO, and co-founder, Trym in a released statement. “They understand that connectivity is the future of cannabis agriculture and that to stay in the game, commercial cultivators have to closely track and manage all aspects of their business. A disruption is happening in the market, and we are helping to drive it.”

The cannabis software market is quickly gaining new entrants as more developers discover the exploding marketing. Gone are the days of growers scribbling notes on pads of paper. The legal cannabis industry in the United States is quickly adapting to the latest platforms to increase yield and decrease the amount of bookkeeping needed to stay up with ever-changing regulations.

“The growth opportunity in the cannabis cultivation software market is very exciting for us,” said Micah Tapman, Managing Partner at 7thirty Capital, said in a released statement. “Trym is disrupting cannabis cultivation with a comprehensive software platform that streamlines business and connects the whole team for more efficient farm management. We have watched Trym grow since 2019, and their progress has been exceptional. We are delighted to participate in this round.”

Two weeks, at TechCrunch Disrupt 2020, a similar company could Canix, won TechCrunch’s Startup Battlefield competition. Like Trym, Canix gives growers a platform to track growth and stay current on regulations.

Drone crash near kids leads Swiss Post and Matternet to suspend autonomous deliveries

A serious crash by a delivery drone in Switzerland have grounded the fleet and put a partnership on ice. Within a stone’s throw of a school, the incident raised grim possibilities for the possibilities of catastrophic failure of payload-bearing autonomous aerial vehicles. The drones were operated by Matternet as part of a partnership with the Swiss Post (i.e. the postal service), which was using the craft to dispatch lab samples from one medical center for priority cases. As far as potential applications of drone delivery, it’s a home run — but twice now the craft have crashed, first with a soft landing and the second time a very hard one. The first incident, in January, was the result of a GPS hardware error; the drone entered a planned failback state and deployed its emergency parachute, falling slowly to the ground. Measures were taken to improve the GPS systems. The second failure in May, however, led to the drone attempting to deploy its parachute again, only to sever the line...
