## About

Founded in 2020 and based in British Columbia, Canada, Verdi Expeditions Inc., also known as Verdi, operates as an agricultural technology company that offers farm management solutions. The company was founded by its CEO, Arthur Chen, and Roman Kozak. Verdi develops automation tools, mainly smart devices like the Verdi Block Controller and Verdi Micro-Block Controller, which can be integrated into infrastructure like block valves, pumps, injectors, and sensors for automated irrigation and fertilization. The firm provides the Verdi Platform, which is an Agtech-based software platform that leverages artificial intelligence to automate tasks like irrigation and fertilization and offers real-time data and remote management through a web dashboard. In October 2025, Verdi raised USD 19 million in seed funding co-led by new investors AgFunder and Collaborative Fund, with participation from another new investor The Production Board. Other unspecified investors also participated in the round. The company plans to use the October 2025 funding to expand pilot programs with large produce growers and build full-scale vertical farming systems across North America.
