Field Technician Marketplace & Work Order Platform
On-demand marketplace connecting enterprises with independent field technicians for IT and technology deployments. Minneapolis MN, raised $80M+.
FieldNation is an on-demand marketplace and work order management platform that connects enterprises, system integrators, and managed service providers with a network of more than 130,000 independent field technicians for technology installation, maintenance, and service work across the United States and internationally. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, FieldNation has raised more than $80 million and established a leading position in the contingent IT field services market, processing millions of field service work orders annually. The platform enables companies to staff technology deployment projects, retail technology rollouts, and ongoing maintenance programs with qualified on-demand technicians without building a large internal field service workforce.\n\nFieldNation's marketplace allows buyers — companies needing field service work completed — to post work orders with location, skillset requirements, timing, and payment rate, and receive applications from qualified technicians in their network. Technician profiles include certifications (CompTIA, OEM product certifications), work history, ratings, and background check status, allowing buyers to evaluate and select technicians with confidence. Work order management tools track assignments, check-ins, deliverables, and payment processing for every job, providing documentation and accountability across thousands of concurrent field service engagements. Analytics dashboards give program managers visibility into technician performance, SLA adherence, and spend across large field programs.\n\nFieldNation competes with WorkMarket (ADP), Workforce Logic, and Gigplex in the contingent field services marketplace. Its large technician network, technology-specific skills focus, and work order management platform give it strong positioning for IT deployment and managed services companies that need reliable field coverage across hundreds or thousands of locations without permanent regional staff.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
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.
