Mossgrove

Team

Two founders who ran the lorries first.

Mossgrove was built by people who used to plan the collections it now automates. Both still spend a day a week at the yard.

Built routing software for a haulage firm, then spent two seasons rebuilding it around fields and weather windows. Owns the product, the drivers' app and the data.

Advisers and the first three hires.

Two advisers: a former co-op chair who sits on the board of a regional grower network, and an agri-finance lawyer who has closed four pre-seed rounds.

With the round we hire a customer lead for the pilots, a second engineer for the drivers' app, and a dispatcher who works the first co-op schedules in person.
