This is the story of how a founding team with a unique idea and first-mover advantage went from doing everything themselves to shipping predictably with an embedded product team.
Eight years later: same engineers, same standups, same code reviews, same Slack channels A partner that took a lead, pushed back, and challenged. We were privileged to be that for Greensight, and still showing up.
Most founders come to the external partner conversation carrying someone else's bad experience. Senior engineers in the pitch. Junior in the delivery. (yes, we know you've been there). Once something goes wrong, you find out quickly which team they're actually on.
That fear is worth taking seriously. Eight years ago, Stephen Ohlson at Greensight Agronomics asked that question out loud. Autonomous vehicles, navigation, control systems, real-time data where failure has physical consequences. Who can you trust to scale with you?
