Based in Ithaca, New York, Íko Systems develops networked precision-agriculture consumer products that promote organic farming and a healthy lifestyle at home. Founded in 2016 as a spin-off from Cornell University, the company's hydroponics home appliances utilize sensors and actuators to create optimal growing conditions for herbs. Through a mobile application, users can control and grow exotic, rare herbs and organic products in a sustainable way. Íko's vision is to leverage crowdsourced data from their consumer products to build the world's largest collection of optimized growing climates.
