Varmers has been accepted into FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program to support its fundraising and growth—scaling climate-controlled, pesticide-free vertical farms that use far less water and deliver consistent harvests year-round.

Varmers has been accepted into the EquityPilot program of FasterCapital to find its required capital to keep on growing pesticide- and chemical-free year-round fruits and vegetables.
Building reliable, city-center food supply, without pesticides
Varmers designs, builds, and operates vertical farms that deliver consistent, flavorful produce year-round from climate-controlled environments. By growing indoors and close to consumers, Varmers can reduce water use dramatically, eliminate pesticides, and plan harvests based on real demand—helping make fresh food more predictable, cleaner, and more local.
Varmers’ model is built for reliability: controlled conditions mean fewer seasonal shocks, steadier output, and faster time from harvest to customer, right “in the middle of the city.”
What is FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program?
FasterCapital is a global venture builder and online incubator that supports startups through capital raising and company-building resources, backed by a broad network of mentors, investors, and strategic partners.
Across public EquityPilot announcements, FasterCapital describes the program as execution-focused and milestone-driven, typically mapping a “first 30–60 days” plan that helps founders sharpen priorities, build investor-ready materials, and get the right introductions.
EquityPilot participation is also commonly described as support rather than a funding guarantee (i.e., the program can help accelerate readiness and access, but investment isn’t automatic).
In other EquityPilot examples, FasterCapital outlines support such as strategic mentorship, technical support, and capital-raising guidance tailored to the startup.
Why this collaboration matters for Varmers
Varmers’ next stage is about scaling: bringing more vertical farm capacity online, expanding partnerships, and meeting rising demand for consistently fresh, pesticide-free produce.
On Varmers’ investor page, the team highlights a clear scaling use case, bringing one more vertical farm online in Bangkok, and notes a ~$150k approximate cost to build one farm, plus flexibility on investment structure (equity, revenue share, or loan).
That’s exactly where EquityPilot can help: turning a growth plan into an investor-ready fundraising process supported by structured milestones, mentorship, and introductions.
What we’ll focus on during EquityPilot
Through this collaboration, Varmers will focus on:
-
Fundraising readiness: clarifying the capital required, use of funds, and the milestones that capital unlocks (farm build-out, operations, and growth).
-
Execution milestones: translating the scale roadmap into measurable steps—an approach EquityPilot frequently emphasizes in its “first 30–60 days” plans.
-
Partner and investor outreach: leveraging FasterCapital’s ecosystem connections and investor introduction pathways highlighted across EquityPilot announcements.
