Revolutionizing Agriculture through Sound

Indoor farming faces significant financial obstacles while nearing optimization limits…

Our mission is to fundamentally change how we grow food by introducing finely-tuned sound to the plants’ life cycle.

Audio Fertilizer

We are a pre-seed deep tech company that delivers precision sound protocols to indoor crops, to radically improve plant:

  • Yield / Crop Cycle

  • Resilience to Pests, Mold, and Fungi

  • Nutrient Profile and Density

Sound is a non-chemical, complementary, bolt-on technology that works with every other environmental input to boost productivity.

Plant Exercise

We have filed a provisional patent to protect our core IP,  which recursively measures a plant's resonant frequency and builds finely-tuned sound protocols based on those wavelengths.  

By playing these magic tones, capillary action, transpiration, and osmotic distribution of nutrients throughout the plant are increased, and mechanoreceptors are activated.

This stimulation changes the plants DNA transcription profile, leading to enhanced growth, resilience, and nutrient profile. You can think of it as exercise for the plant!

Traction

Green Sounds has developed its MVP and is currently seeking funding to begin proof of concept validation studies in partnership with Agnetix, a leading pioneer in LED grow lights for indoor farmers with a state-of-the-art grow facility.

We have filed a provisional patent to protect our core IP as well as an intent-to-use trademark application for Green Sounds.

We have letters of intent from two key industry players in the indoor agriculture and acoustics spaces.

All we need is capital!

Funding

Green Sounds is currently bootstrapped, and applying for funding through:

  • Incubators such as YCombinator and IndieBio

  • Angel networks, friends, and family

  • Government grants through the National Science Foundation and USDA.

We are seeking $500k in seed money to develop and refine our platform, conduct proof of validation studies with our partner organizations, and file for non-provisional patents.

Founder & CEO

Daniel is a PhD Candidate in Neuroscience at UCSD, and the recipient of the National Science Foundation’s GRFP award.

He also holds a JD from Northwestern University School of Law where he studied intellectual property and business law.

Daniel is passionate about contributing to sustainable agriculture, and is actively looking for a co-founder, partners, advisors, and early key employees to join him on this mission.
