Scythe Robotics
scytherobotics.com ↗Develops the M.52, an all-electric, fully autonomous commercial mower for the professional landscaping industry, sold on a robot-as-a-service model billed by acres mowed
The Current Angle
Founded 2018 by Jack Morrison, Davis Foster, and Isaac Roberts after Morrison had a 'lightbulb moment' mowing his own Colorado lawn; targets the $176 billion US commercial landscaping industry, addressing both labor shortages and decarbonization at once; backers include Amazon's Alexa Fund, ArcTern Ventures, True Ventures, and Inspired Capital; doubled its Longmont manufacturing facility to 28,000 sq ft in 2024 with Colorado OEDIT support; explicitly positions the mower as a tool for existing landscaping crews rather than a replacement for workers
