    Fotenix Secures Investment from Fund:AI to Advance AI-Driven Sustainable Farming

    The Future of Farming with Fotenix

    River Capital: Investing in Innovation

    River Capital is a UK-based venture capital firm supporting transformative businesses across multiple industries. Fund:AI focuses on investing in high-growth companies that leverage artificial intelligence to solve global challenges.

    River Capital Investment Director David Walters, Fotenix CEO Charles Veys and River Capital  Venture Partner Martin Sutton.

    Revolutionising Crop Monitoring with AI and Spectral Imaging

    At the core of Fotenix’s innovation is its advanced spectral imaging technology, which, when combined with AI-driven analytics, offers growers a powerful tool for detecting early signs of crop stress. From pests to disease outbreaks, these insights enable farmers to take proactive measures before problems escalate, reducing losses and optimising resource use.

    For horticultural growers, this translates into tangible benefits:

    • Reduced crop losses through early stress detection
    • Optimised input use (fertilisers/ pesticides/ water)
    • Improved consistency and quality to meet market demands

    Empowering Farmers for a Sustainable Future

    “Farmers are at the core of everything we do,” said Charles Veys, CEO of Fotenix.

    “We understand the immense pressure they face to deliver high-quality produce while dealing with rising costs and environmental challenges. This investment enables us to bring accessible, practical solutions to their operations—helping them maximise yields, cut waste, and farm more sustainably.”.

    By providing growers with AI-powered insights, Fotenix’s technology also supports sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on chemical inputs. This not only minimises environmental impact but also enhances water and energy efficiency—crucial factors in regions facing resource scarcity.

    Scaling Impact with Fund:AI’s Backing

    With the support of River Capital’s Fund:AI, Fotenix is poised to expand its team, scale operations, and extend its reach into high-value horticultural markets, including the glasshouse sector. The investment aligns with Fund:AI’s mission to back innovative, high-growth companies leveraging artificial intelligence to address global challenges.

    As Fotenix continues to refine its technology and expand its footprint, the company remains committed to its farmer-first approach—delivering precision tools that enhance both profitability and sustainability in agriculture.
