Digital gardening: more than just a trend
Fryd is not positioning itself as a classic gardening app, but as the initiator of a new category: digital gardening. It’s not just about planting calendars and instructions, but about a dynamic, interactive platform that accompanies the entire process from sowing to harvest. With the help of the app, users can create personalized garden plans, adapt to changing climatic conditions and benefit from the collective knowledge of an active community.
Particularly noteworthy is the climate zone update, which takes location-specific weather data into account and thus helps to create resilient beds. This data-supported function enables ecologically sound decisions even for beginners. Since 2019, over 130,000 garden plans have already been created on an area of around two million square meters – with an impressive 11,500 tons of harvest yield. Fryd thus goes far beyond a digital gimmick: the app becomes a tool for sustainable self-sufficiency and conscious nutrition.
Crowdinvesting with purpose and returns
Fryd is consistently pursuing the path of community-oriented growth and is launching its first crowdinvesting campaign on ROCKETS. Investors have the opportunity to invest in a value-oriented company that focuses on long-term impact rather than a quick exit. An early-bird interest rate of 9.5% p.a. is offered for the first two weeks, after which the regular interest rate is 8.75% p.a., with a term of around five years and annual interest payments. The financing target is 400,000 euros.
Fryd intends to use the capital to further develop the app technically, including through more intuitive user guidance and the introduction of a citizen science module to improve the planting data. At the same time, collaborations with social initiatives and scientific institutions will be expanded. The aim is to combine traditional gardening knowledge with scientific precision and make it accessible to a broad public.
This form of investment is in tune with the times: more and more people are looking for ways to invest their money with an ecological impact. Fryd combines digital excellence with a clear set of values – as a purpose-owned company, voting rights are held exclusively by active employees and the company cannot be sold. This means that the mission remains untouched.
Conclusion: Investing in green technology with a future
Fryd is a prime example of the fusion of technology and sustainability. The app not only creates awareness for the use of natural resources, but also offers concrete tools for everyday life – whether in the garden, on the balcony or in the community garden. With the crowdinvesting now launched on ROCKETS, supporters can become part of a movement that is rethinking vegetable growing. The campaign is now online – early adopters benefit from attractive conditions. You can find out more about Fryd on the official website.
