Current Status
For mushroom farmers growing white button mushrooms
indoors
who have difficulty paying for increasingly expensive labor,
MushroomX is an automated harvesting system
that automatically identifies and picks desirable mushrooms.
Compared to traditional methods, we reduce labor costs by 20%
and increase yield by 15%
Our Journey Over The Last 10 Weeks...
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
We started with autonomous drone pollination...
To bee or not to bee, that is the question…
Week 0
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
And we bee-lieve we are onto something big!
Bees are 5-15%
of total costs for
fruit, nut, and
some vegetable
farms
Bees pollinate
just 30-70% of
flowers on each
plant, limiting
fruiting and yield
Pollination
suffers when it’s
too hot, cold,
windy, or wet.
Bad weather
during flowering
is devastating

Week 1
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
“Pollination is not a problem at
all, water and labor costs are.”
- Farmer, Swank Farms
“The big need for pollination is
almonds, which is once a
year.”
- Sole Proprietor, Coria
Bees
But upon getting out of the building, we heard...
“You are required to use bees to
qualify for crop insurance.”
- Professor, UC Davis
“I would never give up crop
insurance.”
- Farmer from Farmer’s Market
“My biggest costs are harvest and
crop thinning. Maybe pollination is
third, but it’s not a big deal.”
- Farmer, GoldLeaf Farms
Week 2
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
We are “dead in the water” Week 2
This is an unattractive problem to
solve:
● Slow iteration: Once a year event
● Bad problem: Not massive pain
point, major downside to messing
up pollination
● Regulatory barriers: Insurance
requires using bees, so we
couldn’t replace them, only
supplement
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
Without an inspired idea, we went where great
entrepreneurs go on their down days: the farmer’s market Week 3
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
We met Laura from Far West Fungi… Maybe there’s something
here
“Our production is like a
factory.”
“Labor is my biggest cost
and my biggest problem.”
Week 3
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
Finding and paying for harvesting labor is a huge pain
point for mushroom farmers Week 3
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
“There aren’t enough harvesters. It’s a specialized skill, so we’re
paying them 50% more than other agriculture labor.”
- General Manager, FarWest Fungi
“Harvesters are more than half of my labor. Their productivity makes or
breaks a farm.”
- General Manager, Phillip’s Mushroom Farm
“I make, say, 10% bottom line. I couldn’t pay [harvesters] more if I
wanted to! That’s why farms are moving to Mexico and Canada.”
- General Manager, Premier Mushrooms
“Harvesting labor is my biggest
cost and my biggest problem”
- General Manager, FarWest
Fungi
“Labor is the ONLY issue”
- President, Ostrom’s
Mushrooms
“I’m switching to food service
because I can’t find enough
harvesters”
- General Manager, Farmer’s
Fresh
“If you have something that works I
would buy right away”
- General Manager, Phillips
Farms
“I’d renovate my entire farm’s
shelves if it meant I could automate
harvest.”
- Growing Coordinator, To-Jo
“This is 30% of my cost.”
- General Manager, Farmer’s
Fresh
After many conversations, we found an intense interest in a
better solution than manual harvesters
“Is this what Steve means when he says 10/10 problem where they’d rip a solution out of your
hand?”
Week 4
Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future
Week 1
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
$47B of mushroom sales
globally!
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
Farmers make $18B of
that
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
$4B of that is white
button in EU & NA for
retail
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
And 25% is harvest labor:
$1B
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
Increasing yields would be
another $1B of value created
But is this a big enough market? Week 4
Increasing yields would be
another $1B of value created
Is $2B a big enough market for a hardware
startup? Although this is the market size for our
product, not our company - maybe there are
adjacencies?
Can we solve it? Seems like yes!
Iterate with each batch
The technology will be provided as a service to provide
clear ROI and to minimize operating costs

Week 1
Will margins work?
Is the market big enough?
Has this ship sailed given
those two guys in Ukraine are
also building a harvester?
Is there really an opportunity
here?
But it’s still hardware… there’s a reason it’s not called
‘easyware’
How fast would it have to be?
How much would it cost?
How fast would it need to pay
back the hardware?
How effective would it need to
be?
We also learned more about mushroom growing and learned more about opportunities this will
unlock: Increasing yield through continuous picking, increasing yield through connecting with
perfect yield data

Recap: We are focusing on automating harvest for indoor white button
mushroom farming
● Consistently the #1 problem and cost category
for at-scale white button mushroom farmers.
Multiple people told us they’d buy it if we can
solve it
● Appears to be technically possible to solve
● Imperfect solution may be acceptable since
automation will also bring yield increase
● Serves $47B mushroom market. Harvesting labor
in high income countries is ~$1.5B.
Why we’re excited about this problem
● Question of whether the market is big
enough to support hardware investment
(Steve B & Heidi say yes)
● Inconsistency of shelf set-ups across farms
● Technical difficulty of developing effective
solution and scaling with a novel gripper
● Competing start-up that’s currently raising
a seed round (Steve B & Heidi say don’t
worry)
What’s concerning us about this problem
We talked to:
Interviews this week deepened our understanding of the
opportunity to automate mushroom harvesting
● 5 mushroom growers
● 2 robotics CEOS
Hypothesis What we heard Implication / learning
Growers would accept a
solution with ~90% efficacy
Half of the growers we spoke to were content with 90%
efficacy if we could increase yields and reduce overall costs
Our hypothesis here is still intact.
We need to push further on this question.
>50% of the market has
shelving that can support a
robotic harvesting solution
An estimated 10% of US farms, 90% of Canadian, and 90%
of European have aluminum shelving.
Most aluminum shelves have 14-15.5 inches of space
between the mushrooms and the shelf above
We are considering this hypothesis confirmed.
All growers have 14” - 15.5” height aluminum
shelving, and 5-10% of US farms have
aluminum.
There is a plausible robotic
motion that would pick with
>90% efficacy
Growers and mushroom academics we spoke to both said
that the preferred motion is to twist and then pull the
mushroom. 2 robotics experts said this is possible.
We’re considering this hypothesis confirmed.
We’ll revisit once our solution is concrete.
We will be able to develop a
robot gripper that picks with
~90% efficacy
A gripper narrower than caps should avoid damaging others
Growing conditions can be altered to make harvesting easier
(increase CO2, lighten growing substrate, stage fruiting). We
have prototyped potential gripper solutions.
Our hypothesis here is intact but uncertain.
We need to understand picking best practices,
potential gripper solutions, & continue
prototyping
We can build a solution
economically
We estimate COGS of 20K for which would take about a year
to pay back at our dimensions and performance requirements
Our hypothesis here is intact but needs to be
pushed further by talking to robotics experts
with experience in scaling

Learning Goals Midpoint Self-Assessment
LEARNING GOAL SCORE
R/Y/G
COMMENTS EXPLAINING YOUR SCORE AND/OR
WHAT YOU WILL CHANGE
1. Form hypotheses
y
Good at understanding how to form hypothesis
2. Design and conduct customer, partner, and supplier interviews We are getting very good at landing customer interviews, but need to focus on landing a mushroom farm partner, as
well as making sure that we don’t ask leading questions.
3. Design and build minimum viable products (MVPs) We have MVPs in the form of slides and brochures for customers. We need to focus on updating system specs based
on customer feedback, and developing gripper technology that works.
4. Design and run experiments Need to focus on iterating and testing more! High priority for us to try to find a farmer to partner with to close the
customer iteration loop.
5. Determine if hypotheses are true or false based on interview
and experimental results
We’re getting good at this, but still something to improve upon
6. Work effectively in teams under pressure Good team dynamic!
7. Communicate your progress in weekly presentations Great note-taking and communication.
8. Form new hypotheses based on learning Very analytical team
9. Pivot (adapt strategy) based on new data Objective with data, pivoting based on learnings
10. Achieve (or know you have not achieved) product-market fit

MushroomX Engr245 2021 Lessons Learned

  • 1. MushroomX Day 1: Drone pollination 104 Interviews Later: Autonomous mushroom harvesting
  • 2. Team MushroomX Rongfei Lu Div Garg Julia Di Jamie Balsillie Stanford Degree 2nd year MS in AeroAstro 1st year MS in CS 3rd year PhD in robotics 1st year in MBA Role Designer/Hacker Picker/Hacker Hacker Hustler
  • 3. Current Status For mushroom farmers growing white button mushrooms indoors who have difficulty paying for increasingly expensive labor, MushroomX is an automated harvesting system that automatically identifies and picks desirable mushrooms. Compared to traditional methods, we reduce labor costs by 20% and increase yield by 15%
  • 4. Our Journey Over The Last 10 Weeks... Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 5. We started with autonomous drone pollination... To bee or not to bee, that is the question… Week 0 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 6. And we bee-lieve we are onto something big! Bees are 5-15% of total costs for fruit, nut, and some vegetable farms Bees pollinate just 30-70% of flowers on each plant, limiting fruiting and yield Pollination suffers when it’s too hot, cold, windy, or wet. Bad weather during flowering is devastating U.S. Honeybee Colony Loss Week 1 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 7. “Pollination is not a problem at all, water and labor costs are.” - Farmer, Swank Farms “The big need for pollination is almonds, which is once a year.” - Sole Proprietor, Coria Bees But upon getting out of the building, we heard... “You are required to use bees to qualify for crop insurance.” - Professor, UC Davis “I would never give up crop insurance.” - Farmer from Farmer’s Market “My biggest costs are harvest and crop thinning. Maybe pollination is third, but it’s not a big deal.” - Farmer, GoldLeaf Farms Week 2 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 8. We are “dead in the water” Week 2 This is an unattractive problem to solve: ● Slow iteration: Once a year event ● Bad problem: Not massive pain point, major downside to messing up pollination ● Regulatory barriers: Insurance requires using bees, so we couldn’t replace them, only supplement Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 9. Without an inspired idea, we went where great entrepreneurs go on their down days: the farmer’s market Week 3 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 10. We met Laura from Far West Fungi… Maybe there’s something here “Our production is like a factory.” “Labor is my biggest cost and my biggest problem.” Week 3 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1
  • 11. Finding and paying for harvesting labor is a huge pain point for mushroom farmers Week 3 Week 0 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 The Future Week 1 “There aren’t enough harvesters. It’s a specialized skill, so we’re paying them 50% more than other agriculture labor.” - General Manager, FarWest Fungi “Harvesters are more than half of my labor. Their productivity makes or breaks a farm.” - General Manager, Phillip’s Mushroom Farm “I make, say, 10% bottom line. I couldn’t pay [harvesters] more if I wanted to! That’s why farms are moving to Mexico and Canada.” - General Manager, Premier Mushrooms

  • 40. Recap: We are focusing on automating harvest for indoor white button mushroom farming ● Consistently the #1 problem and cost category for at-scale white button mushroom farmers. Multiple people told us they’d buy it if we can solve it ● Appears to be technically possible to solve ● Imperfect solution may be acceptable since automation will also bring yield increase ● Serves $47B mushroom market. Harvesting labor in high income countries is ~$1.5B. Why we’re excited about this problem ● Question of whether the market is big enough to support hardware investment (Steve B & Heidi say yes) ● Inconsistency of shelf set-ups across farms ● Technical difficulty of developing effective solution and scaling with a novel gripper ● Competing start-up that’s currently raising a seed round (Steve B & Heidi say don’t worry) What’s concerning us about this problem
  • 41. We talked to: Interviews this week deepened our understanding of the opportunity to automate mushroom harvesting ● 5 mushroom growers ● 2 robotics CEOS Hypothesis What we heard Implication / learning Growers would accept a solution with ~90% efficacy Half of the growers we spoke to were content with 90% efficacy if we could increase yields and reduce overall costs Our hypothesis here is still intact. We need to push further on this question. >50% of the market has shelving that can support a robotic harvesting solution An estimated 10% of US farms, 90% of Canadian, and 90% of European have aluminum shelving. Most aluminum shelves have 14-15.5 inches of space between the mushrooms and the shelf above We are considering this hypothesis confirmed. All growers have 14” - 15.5” height aluminum shelving, and 5-10% of US farms have aluminum. There is a plausible robotic motion that would pick with >90% efficacy Growers and mushroom academics we spoke to both said that the preferred motion is to twist and then pull the mushroom. 2 robotics experts said this is possible. We’re considering this hypothesis confirmed. We’ll revisit once our solution is concrete. We will be able to develop a robot gripper that picks with ~90% efficacy A gripper narrower than caps should avoid damaging others Growing conditions can be altered to make harvesting easier (increase CO2, lighten growing substrate, stage fruiting). We have prototyped potential gripper solutions. Our hypothesis here is intact but uncertain. We need to understand picking best practices, potential gripper solutions, & continue prototyping We can build a solution economically We estimate COGS of 20K for which would take about a year to pay back at our dimensions and performance requirements Our hypothesis here is intact but needs to be pushed further by talking to robotics experts with experience in scaling ● 1 robotics investor ● Stanford farm manager They’d buy this We can build this We can sell this

  • 46. Learning Goals Midpoint Self-Assessment LEARNING GOAL SCORE R/Y/G COMMENTS EXPLAINING YOUR SCORE AND/OR WHAT YOU WILL CHANGE 1. Form hypotheses y Good at understanding how to form hypothesis 2. Design and conduct customer, partner, and supplier interviews We are getting very good at landing customer interviews, but need to focus on landing a mushroom farm partner, as well as making sure that we don’t ask leading questions. 3. Design and build minimum viable products (MVPs) We have MVPs in the form of slides and brochures for customers. We need to focus on updating system specs based on customer feedback, and developing gripper technology that works. 4. Design and run experiments Need to focus on iterating and testing more! High priority for us to try to find a farmer to partner with to close the customer iteration loop. 5. Determine if hypotheses are true or false based on interview and experimental results We’re getting good at this, but still something to improve upon 6. Work effectively in teams under pressure Good team dynamic! 7. Communicate your progress in weekly presentations Great note-taking and communication. 8. Form new hypotheses based on learning Very analytical team 9. Pivot (adapt strategy) based on new data Objective with data, pivoting based on learnings 10.
