Professional-grade XR headsets for enterprise simulation, design, and training. Based in Helsinki; raised $70M.
Varjo is a Finnish hardware and software company headquartered in Helsinki that designs and manufactures professional-grade extended reality (XR) headsets for enterprise simulation, engineering design, and defense training applications. Founded in 2016 by former Nokia and Microsoft engineers, Varjo raised $70M to build headsets targeting the highest-fidelity end of the XR market—specifically applications where human-eye resolution visual quality and accurate depth perception are mission-critical rather than nice-to-have. Varjo's headsets are used by aerospace, defense, automotive, architecture, and oil and gas enterprises for simulation environments where visual realism directly affects training outcomes or design validation accuracy.\n\nVarjo's product line includes the VR-3 (pure virtual reality), XR-3 (mixed reality with video passthrough), and Aero (high-quality consumer-adjacent VR) headsets, built around a proprietary Bionic Display technology that combines a high-resolution foveal insert with a wide-field peripheral display, mimicking human eye resolution distribution to deliver visual clarity that commodity headsets cannot match. Varjo also develops the Reality Cloud enterprise platform—a managed service for streaming high-fidelity XR experiences and hosting virtual environments—and provides XR software development tools for customers building custom simulation applications. The company partners with major simulation software vendors including Autodesk, Unity, and Unreal Engine.\n\nVarjo competes with Meta's Quest Pro, Microsoft HoloLens, and Xtal in the enterprise XR hardware market. Its focus on maximum visual fidelity rather than mass-market affordability positions it as a premium tool for use cases where accuracy, realism, and professional certification requirements justify a higher cost-per-device. For enterprises in aerospace simulation, automotive design review, surgical training, and defense requiring XR hardware that meets professional-grade visual standards, Varjo's headsets represent the current ceiling of commercial XR fidelity.
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.
