Boise ID resident experience and maintenance coordination platform for property managers; raised $10M+; provides 24/7 maintenance dispatch and resident communication services.
Latchel is a resident experience and maintenance coordination platform headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Founded in 2017, the company has raised over $10M in funding and serves property management companies seeking to improve resident satisfaction and streamline maintenance operations. Latchel's platform combines software tools with a managed service layer, providing property managers with 24/7 maintenance request intake, vendor dispatch, and resident communication services that handle the operational burden of emergency and routine maintenance coordination.\n\nLatchel's technology platform allows residents to submit maintenance requests via text, app, or web, and Latchel's team triages, troubleshooots, and dispatches qualified local vendors to address the issue — all without requiring property manager involvement. For after-hours emergencies, Latchel's live team handles urgent resident calls, dispatches vendors, and keeps residents informed, preventing the scenario where property managers field midnight emergency calls. Latchel also offers resident benefits packages including renters insurance, credit building, and emergency assistance programs that property managers can offer as amenity packages.\n\nLatchel competes with Maintenance Care, AppFolio's built-in maintenance tools, and traditional property management answering services. It differentiates through its combination of technology and managed services, its resident benefits marketplace, and its focus on resident satisfaction as a driver of lease renewals. The platform is particularly popular among small to mid-size property management companies that manage single-family rental and small multifamily portfolios and lack the internal resources to staff a dedicated maintenance coordination team.
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.
