Carbon Robotics has announced that it has exceeded $100 million in annual revenue, marking a significant milestone for the Seattle-based agtech firm. The company specializes in using lasers for weed control and has gained recognition from U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for its pesticide-free methods.
In a strategic move, Carbon has appointed Kevan Krysler as its new chief financial officer. Krysler, who previously held the same position at Pure Storage, is expected to enhance the company's financial leadership. Paul Mikesell, CEO of Carbon Robotics, expressed confidence in Krysler's fit with the company's culture and his experience in public company finances.
Founded in 2018, Carbon Robotics has successfully raised $177 million in funding and currently employs around 260 people. The firm operates a manufacturing facility located in Richland, Washington, and ranks as the No. 10 startup on the GeekWire 200 list of top privately held companies in the Pacific Northwest.
