Brief company description: Our “Regenerative Ag-In-A-Bag” soil amendment, OrganiLock soil food, transforms barren soils into thriving ecosystems for both home and commercial growers. It's not just a soil amendment; it's a botanical boost, making plants bigger, healthier and more productive — with or without the conventional products. We're on a mission to revive Earth's tired soil, blending ancient wisdom with state-of-the-art tech. Our patent-pending process turns factory farm waste into a rapid and renewable solution for soil regeneration.
What is your company working on right now? Building our network of distributors to help us bring a cooperatively disruptive product to market, raising capital to build out our go-to-market strategy and seeking institutional partners for third-party testing and backing (farmers, academia, government, etc).
What’s on the horizon for your company in 2024? Bring soil food to market and establish our Kentucky production facility as a viable prototype for our "distributed manufacturing" program.
Why grow your company in/from Kentucky? Kentucky is where founders Scott and Brenda put down roots and raised their family. It has all the waste streams locally that are needed for production and being Brenda’s home state, they want to put Kentucky on the map with new world-changing technology.
Give us one bold prediction in 2024 for startups, technology or venture capital/fundraising. The future belongs to companies offering "cooperatively disruptive" solutions. The world is changing fast, and large problems are demonstrating end state volatility and behaviors. Markets seeking stability and smooth transitions will gravitate toward legitimate, innovative solutions that disrupt without a fight. Businesses that can offer big, disruptive solutions, yet do so with avenues for smooth transition, will begin to gain momentum.
