Hippo Harvest Closes $30 Million Series C Led by Cox Farms, Scaling Robotic Indoor Growing Technology and Expanding to New Markets

Published

Funding accelerates the company’s next phase of growth as Hippo Harvest brings indoor-grown organic greens to retail buyers at scale. 

PESCADERO, Calif., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hippo Harvest, a leafy greens grower whose robotics- and machine learning-powered greenhouses produce USDA-certified organic greens, today announced the close of a $30 million Series C funding round led by Cox Farms, North America’s largest greenhouse operator.  The investment will unlock a 30-acre expansion at a new Hollister, CA facility, currently in permitting, and the development of the company’s next-generation robotic growing system, expanding growing capacity from one acre today and accelerating the commercialization of indoor-grown Spinach.

The Spinach commercialization marks a significant milestone for Hippo Harvest, which also launched its Butter Lettuce to retail buyers in early 2026. Together, the two products anchor a growing line of indoor-grown greens built for year-round consistency. Hippo Harvest’s hybrid assortment blends greenhouse and organic field-grown greens to deliver broader variety and reliable supply in a sector increasingly affected by climate volatility.

At the center of Hippo Harvest’s model is a proprietary robotic growing system that uses Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and machine learning to monitor, tend, and harvest plants with precision at every stage of growth. The upgraded system uses robotic ‘tractors’ to automatically respace growing modules throughout the growth cycle, maximizing space efficiency and yields at the farm level. The next-generation system funded by this round is designed to increase throughput, reduce cost per unit, and accelerate the company’s ability to bring new varieties to market at scale.

“Closing this round and bringing Spinach to market in the same moment is a real signal of where Hippo Harvest is headed,” said Eitan Marder-Eppstein, CEO and co-founder of Hippo Harvest. “We’ve spent years building a system that can grow certified organic greens consistently and at a price that works for both retailers and consumers. This investment lets us do that at the next level of scale.”

Founded in 2019 and based in Pescadero, CA, Hippo Harvest serves retail buyers across Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, including Sprouts, Haggen (an Albertsons banner), and Gus’s Community Markets in San Francisco, with plans to expand across the West Coast and additional national retail partnerships in development. Cox Farms, owned by Cox Enterprises, led the Series C round, with participation from existing and new Hippo Harvest investors, including Congruent Ventures, Hawthorne Food Ventures, Collaborative Fund and the Fresh Investment Club.  The round follows a $21 million Series B closed in February 2024, led by Standard Investments, with participation from Congruent Ventures, Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, Hawthorne Food Ventures, and Energy Impact Partners.

“Hippo Harvest is doing something genuinely exciting in indoor agriculture, and we’re proud to be part of this next chapter,” said Steve Bradley, president of Cox Farms. “Cox Farms actively looks for opportunities to support innovation and new technologies across indoor agriculture. We can’t wait to watch them scale.”

Market Equities Launches Quote Daddy — Every Quote That Matters, in One Clean Dashboard

Issued on behalf of Quote Daddy

A free, ad-light stock-tracking platform spanning U.S. and Canadian markets launches across desktop and mobile — no paywalls, no credit card.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group Retail investors juggling brokerage apps, charting tools and filing databases have a new free option that consolidates the essentials into one place.

Market Equities Limited today announced the public launch of Quote Daddy, a free stock-tracking platform that pulls live watchlists, interactive charts, SEC filings, news and price alerts into a single dashboard across desktop and mobile. The company is positioning the product against a market-data landscape where much of the same functionality sits behind paywalls.

Quote Daddy covers both U.S. and Canadian markets — NYSE and Nasdaq in the United States, plus TSX, TSX Venture and CSE listings in Canada — and requires no credit card to start. The platform’s pitch is deliberately plain: no paywalls, no clutter, just the markets. One account syncs across a spacious terminal layout on desktop and a fast, tap-friendly app on mobile.

Sign up for free and download the mobile app for Apple and Android directly at http://QuoteDaddy.com

At the core is a live watchlist where every name carries an intraday sparkline and a colour-coded price pill, so a single glance conveys direction and magnitude. Users can build unlimited lists, sort by the day’s gainers or losers in one tap, reorder and rename lists, and attach a private note to any stock that follows them across devices.

Individual stock pages go deeper than most free tools, offering candlestick charts with MA5, MA10 and MA20 moving averages, volume, company profiles and analyst views, insider activity drawn from SEC Form 4 filings, and company filings including 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K documents straight from EDGAR.

Beyond tracking, Quote Daddy layers in a plain-English analysis feature that turns raw numbers into a short briefing — why a stock moved, how its sector is performing, and what the figures mean — alongside retail sentiment tagged bull or bear. The company notes this feature is educational only and not investment advice.

Quote Daddy is available now on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and on web and desktop at http://quotedaddy.com.

SIGNAL OVER NOISE

Signal over noise. Market-data, retail-investing, and fintech headlines move fast — and the crowd often moves first. Eagle Eye is a real-time investor signal-intelligence platform that surfaces sentiment shifts, news flow, and trending tickers as they happen, so you see the move forming instead of reading about it later. See it at eagle-eye.dev.
