'Charlestown' and 'agriculture startup' not normally words you'd associate

But it turns out there's a company on Rutherford Avenue, called Indigo Agriculture, that is using the idea of microbiomes to assemble bacteria packets that can help plants resist drought and disease, and it recently hired EMC's former chief lawyer.

True story

I worked with Indigo on a project for a couple of months when they were still in Cambridge. Very good group of people doing something they believe in. Always have wished them nothing but the best.

They are legit and have interesting tech

Regular poster here commenting anonymously. I worked with them when they were still operating stealth-mode out of incubator space in Cambridge. Did some work setting up all of their research and compbio infrastructure inside a a public IaaS cloud so that they did not need IT kit onsite. Cool people; interesting technology.

Also super fun to see client companies grow out of incubator space and move into "grown-up" digs. I've got 2-3 like that now in Cambridge including one that went from stealth-mode in in distant suburban office to full-on class-A space in Cambridge with an IPO coming up.

Well I dont know of all this
