Pitch
About the Campaign
Berry growers face rising labour costs & worker shortages; a significant portion of raspberries are wasted as fruit is left unpicked. Fieldwork Robotics has created the first precision raspberry-harvesting robot, using AI & multi-arm automation to cut costs, reduce waste, & offer consistent, efficient harvesting for growers.
Market Opportunity
Fresh raspberries are a fast-growing (11.4% CAGR) multi-billion-dollar market. UK production depends heavily on manual labour, causing raspberries to be left unharvested due to a lack of pickers. Our unique IP enables gentle, automated picking and ripeness detection - key to sustainable berry farming.
Traction & Key Accomplishments
Fieldwork Robotics, founded in 2016, operates in the UK, Portugal, USA, & Australia. After early harvesting trials in 2019, in 2023 we received £1.5M in investment from VC Elbow Beach, closed a £1.5M seed funding round & secured Innovate UK grants. In 2024, we launched the AI-powered Fieldworker 1, capable of detecting ripeness with greater accuracy, & partnered with Costa Group, a leading Australian grower. A later agreement with Burro delivered a base-agnostic, efficient solution for growers.
Use of Funds
- Establish operations in Australia
- Capital for contract manufacturing
- Optimise pick cycle & grow harvesting capabilities (day & night)
- Build fleet management with a multi-operational platform & visualisation capabilities
- Develop further compatibility with base navigation tech for increased utility

Runway Disclosure
Please note that the minimum target for the round provides the company with 4 months of runway.
The company currently has several ongoing conversations with potential investors, which will increase this runway period. Investors will be updated if these investments convert.
Convertible Key Terms
This investment round is being raised by way of a convertible equity investment structure, in this case an "Advanced Subscription Agreement" (“ASA”).
The key terms that apply to the Company’s ASA are set out below. See also the Key Terms document in the 'Documents' section for further details.
Conversion is triggered by ("Trigger Events"):
- An Qualifying Equity Fundraise – defined as the Company raising equity investment capital of at least £2,800,000 from one transaction or a series of transactions, in exchange for the company issuing equity shares. A Qualifying Equity Fundraise will automatically trigger conversion of the ASA;
- A Non-Qualifying Equity Fundraise - defined as the Company raising equity investment that does not meet the Qualifying Equity Fundraise minimum threshold. Conversion pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Equity Fundraise will be at the election of Republic Europe.
- A Change of Control of the company (transfer of more than 50% of the share capital); or
- An IPO – being a listing of the company’s shares on a recognised stock market or secondary market.
On the occurrence of a Trigger Event, your investment will convert at the lower of:
a) A 25% discount to the lowest price paid per share in connection with the Trigger Event; or
b) the lowest conversion price of any investment made as part of the round.
The Longstop Date is 6 months from the date of the advance subscription agreement. Please note this will be after the Campaign closes.
If conversion has not been triggered by the Longstop Date, shares will be issued on the Longstop Date at the Default Share Price, which is the lower of:
a) The lowest price of any shares issued after the date of this Agreement; and
b) a price per share of £29.16 based on a company valuation of £10,668,472.
The ASA would also convert to equity at the Default Share Price in the event of winding up or liquidation of the company.

The Company is majority investor owned, with the largest stakes being held by Elbow Beach Investment Ltd, The University of Plymouth Enterprise Limited and Frontier IP Group. The CEO currently holds 4% of the fully diluted equity through unvested options.
