About

Celona was founded in 2019 with the mission of making enterprise-grade private wireless networking as deployable and manageable as enterprise Wi-Fi — eliminating the carrier dependency, integration complexity, and cost barriers that had historically limited private 5G and LTE adoption to large telecommunications operators and defense contractors. The company built a turnkey CBRS-based private wireless solution designed for IT teams, not RF engineers, with cloud-managed deployment and configuration tools that make enterprise wireless accessible without specialized expertise.\n\nCelona's platform consists of ruggedized access points, a 5G core software stack, and a cloud management layer that together deliver private LTE and 5G connectivity for manufacturing plants, warehouses, hospitals, ports, and campuses. Its AerFlex platform, launched in August 2025, extends flexibility for hybrid private/public wireless deployments. The solution targets operational technology (OT) environments where Wi-Fi reliability, latency, or coverage limitations create production risks — particularly for IoT, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and video analytics applications that require deterministic wireless performance.\n\nCelona raised over $135M in total funding and has established partnerships with major systems integrators and technology vendors to build an enterprise channel. The company competes with carrier-led private 5G offerings from AT&T, Verizon, and Nokia, differentiating through its IT-centric management experience, CBRS spectrum availability that eliminates carrier fees, and a software-first architecture that can run on commodity hardware. As enterprise OT networks become critical infrastructure for AI-powered industrial automation, Celona's private wireless platform is positioned as essential connectivity for the intelligent factory.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
