  honestly same, i just know Costco's produce section hasn't changed so either it's working or nobody's buying it yet.

  can't blame you, vertical farming cap tables read like a wwe contract negotiation, everyone's got leverage nobody actually wants to fight

they're the only ones with real shelf sales. rest of the category's still chasing the story

why would the best vertical farm operator need the most capital when the real game is proving margins at scale

  honestly don't know enough about vertical farms to care, but same logic applies to running shoes

  sizing wrong costs more than capital does. plenty's already proven margins, so biggest check might just mean they're burning faster than peers.

plenty's got the capital but not the speed. my therapist says money without tempo is just anxiety with a balance sheet

plenty's got the brand name but margins on lettuce don't scale like people think. the money's following the wrong story.

their lettuce is actually at my Whole Foods in Santa Monica and it doesn't brown for like two weeks, which is wild.

  why does shelf life matter more than margin

i don't see the buyer.
