ABOUT BEN SCOTT-ROBINSON
Hello, I\'m Ben. I am the co-founder and CEO of The Small Robot Company. Along with my partner Sam and our incredible team of passionate visionaries, our mission is to help farmers feed the world while regenerating the planet. Our sustainable farming robots Tom, Dick and Harry - and the brains of the operation, our AI driven operating system Wilma - will deliver Per Plant Farming for the world’s biggest food crops. We are rolling out our first commercial robots right now, and plan to have our full service working at scale by 2025. In the last quarter, our Small Robots have become TIME200 Inventions of 2022, and Santander X winners. We have also won a TechCrunch Europa, a Cog-X and a Drum. Sam and I are in Business Leader\'s list of Top 30 UK Entrepreneurs. Our first Tom robot is on permanent display at the Science Museum in London. Over 2500 farmers and supporters like our idea so much that they have invested in us. Over two rounds we have helped us raise nearly £11m, alongside over £2m of grants from Innovate UK and others. Previously, I have founded two agencies, two consultancies, an app start-up and a phone for blind people. I have held the role of Creative Director, Experience Director, Head of Innovation, and Head of Brilliant. I have been in the Drum Magazine’s Mobile Top 50 for two years running,#23 in the Digerati Top 100 and won MEX Experience Innovator of the Year.
