Due Diligence
Independent technical and commercial review of operations, technology, unit economics, and team — so you invest with clarity, not hype.
We help investors cut through the hype with data-driven research, industry reports, and rigorous due diligence — our own 2025 Global CEA Census found just 56% of indoor growers report being profitable, and even that number deserves scrutiny.
Indoor agriculture investment grew 16x between 2015 and 2020, but profitability remains the exception. Our team brings the deepest operational expertise in the industry to your diligence process — so you can separate durable businesses from good stories before you write a check.

Yes. Through industry research and market mapping we categorize technologies and operators, size the opportunity, and help you define where and how to deploy capital.
In Agritecture's 2025 Global CEA Census, 56% of indoor growers reported being profitable — but this number deserves critical reading. According to Henry Gordon-Smith, founder and CEO of Agritecture, this figure reflects businesses that survived a difficult market environment and refined their operational strategies under real economic pressure. It's also worth noting the census is based on self-reported data and represents an average, not a guarantee for any specific deal. Where a given operator actually falls relative to that benchmark is exactly what independent due diligence is built to determine before you invest.
