Our take

Millions of off-road spaces, from lawns to vast public parks, need regular maintenance. Traditional mowers run on fossil fuels and require human operations, but Scythe is changing the game with intelligent, emissions-free robots. These fully fun electric mowers are designed to follow contours, navigate slopes, and automatically adjust cut patterns to keep grass looking pristine without the environmental cost.

Maintenance businesses can save thousands due to the reduced need for human involvement and the robot's efficient, all-electric motors. Scythe's unique "Robot-as-a-Servce" rental model charges by the acre mowed, offering affordable, sustainable solutions. Plus, its mowers are quieter - reducing noise by 20dB compared to legacy models - so no more complaints when mowing the lawn at 7am on a Sunday.

Commercial landscape contractors have long struggled to meet growing demand for staying sustainable, but Scythe is changing that with its in-demand M.52 mower. After successful funding, the company is scaling up its manufacturing process to meet demand and ensure the future of landscaping is greener, quieter, and more efficient.
