VAXA: Affordable smart home growing for everyone

There is a lack of a user-friendly urban farming system in the market that is targeted at the aspiring home grower who faces a steep learning curve in trying to successfully grow various greens. Current products in the market either produce inconsistent results in plant germination and maturity or are very expensive.

Our solution integrates an aesthetic pot and a smartphone application to form an urban farming system that is both effective and affordable. Offering automated plant care, real-time view and control, and ready access to urban farming knowledge, aspiring home growers are empowered to reliably produce bountiful growth yields with minimal effort and cost.
