OnePointOne - Sam Bertram

from Silicon Oasis Spotlight Hosted by Silicon Oasis

In this episode of Silicon Oasis Spotlight, we sit down with Sam Bertram, founder and CEO of OnePointOne, a Phoenix-based company reimagining how the world grows food. Sam shares the story behind Opollo Farm, the world's first fully robotic cubic vertical farm, and how OnePointOne is combining AI, aeroponics, and warehouse-scale automation to produce organic food using a fraction of the land and water required by traditional agriculture. The conversation explores the future of food security, sustainable agriculture, water conservation, supply chain resilience, and what it takes to build a category-defining technology company in Arizona. Sam also discusses the company's growth journey, raising more than $77 million from investors, scaling cutting-edge technology, and the long-term vision of feeding a planet of 10 billion people. From startup challenges and capital raising to climate innovation and the future of farming, this episode highlights how Arizona entrepreneurs are developing world-changing solutions from the heart of the desert. Whether you're interested in startups, sustainability, agriculture, robotics, or the future of technology, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
