Water management has historically been reactive. GroundWorx is building the intelligence layer that makes it predictive.

The company combines in-ground sensing, always-on connectivity, and AI to help professionally managed properties use water more precisely.

This community round will help GroundWorx move from years of paid field validation to full commercial launch.

GroundWorx is an AI-powered ground intelligence network designed for golf courses, sports fields, resorts, commercial landscapes, and other professionally irrigated properties.

Four years of paid field deployments have produced 700M+ in-ground readings across 150+ trial customers in 11 countries, according to company records.

Those readings form a growing training dataset that would take a new entrant years of field deployment to reproduce.

GroundWorx is pre-revenue; the $1.8M collected through paid trials validated the technology and customer use cases ahead of commercialization.

The Problem

Water scarcity is no longer only an environmental concern—it is an operating, financial, and reputational risk.

Rising water costs, tighter restrictions, and declining supply put professionally maintained landscapes under increasing pressure.

For venues, resorts, and golf courses, poor water decisions can damage turf, disrupt events, increase labor, and threaten revenue.

Water scarcity is hitting harder every year. The rising drought conditions, stricter water restrictions, and agricultural demand are slowly consuming most of our freshwater, and current systems simply can’t keep up.

2.1 billion people worldwide experience water scarcity, and organizations, universities, and industry leaders are racing to improve water efficiency.

Most irrigation decisions are still based on schedules, visual inspection, or a small number of disconnected readings.

Traditional sensors generally report what already happened; they do not predict what the root zone will need next.

GroundWorx closes that gap with continuous field data and AI-driven recommendations before stress and waste occur.

GroundWorx turns irrigation from reactive guesswork into proactive, data-driven management. Our AI-enabled platform collects hundreds of thousands of environmental data points every day.

This gives course managers real-time insight into moisture, temperature, soil health, and other environmental changes.

With smarter monitoring and predictive analytics, facilities can cut water and energy use by up to 30%, protect turf conditions, and make faster, more confident decisions. Each installation strengthens our growing environmental dataset, making the system more accurate over time.

GroundWorx turns conditions beneath the surface into an always-on stream of actionable intelligence.

Its wireless, ruggedized sensors collect root-zone data; the GAIN platform connects, analyzes, and predicts; operators receive insights they can act on.

The same core architecture can support multiple applications, while the current commercial focus remains on professionally irrigated properties.

More deployed sensors create more observations, stronger models, and a more valuable shared intelligence network.

A standard deployment combines monitoring wells, soil-array sensors, rain gauges, and regional weather feeds to create course-wide visibility.

Data is collected continuously, validated, secured, anonymized for network learning, and analyzed for site-specific recommendations.

Customers retain ownership of their data while benefiting from intelligence improved by the broader GroundWorx network.

The objective is simple: move from isolated measurements to a repeatable path from sensing to action.

GAIN brings sensor readings, weather, alerts, maps, charts, reports, and historical trends into one operating view.

Instead of interpreting separate devices and spreadsheets, teams can see emerging conditions and priority actions in context.

The platform is intended to make advanced environmental intelligence practical for the people managing a property every day.

Accurate prediction starts with dense, reliable measurements—not occasional spot checks.

GroundWorx combines readings from multiple soil depths with on-site and regional weather data to build a fuller environmental picture.

Each new reading expands the historical record and can improve the model’s ability to anticipate site conditions.

This data flywheel is central to GroundWorx’s long-term technical advantage.

At Aviara Golf Club, the system saved 23M gallons, delivered approximately $120K in annual savings, and paid for itself in 11.5 months.

At Fairmont Grand Del Mar, the company reports 29% water savings, improved turf quality, zero turf loss, and a nine-month payback.

At Dodger Stadium, the company reports an 18% water reduction, more than 200 labor hours saved, and a six-month return on investment.

These trials show that better subsurface intelligence can create measurable economic value alongside water conservation.

GroundWorx has been tested in demanding environments spanning professional sports, hospitality, golf, education, and commercial properties.

Its ecosystem includes trial customers, distribution relationships, academic sites, and industry partners.

These relationships provide operational feedback, market credibility, and potential channels for broader deployment.

The range of organizations involved suggests the underlying problem isn't limited to a single customer type.

GroundWorx reports 150+ paid field trials and $1.8M in trial funding over four years of real-world deployment.

Deployments across 11 countries have tested the system in different climates, operating conditions, and property types.

Professional sports venues and premium resorts provide especially demanding validation: turf quality, uptime, and timing all matter.

The company enters commercialization with field experience and customer evidence—not only a laboratory prototype.

GroundWorx is pursuing a broad category of professionally irrigated properties, beginning with sectors where water, turf quality, and labor have clear economic consequences.

Golf and sports turf provide a focused, bottoms-up opportunity; commercial properties, residential communities, and high-value agriculture expand the platform’s reach.

Management estimates an approximately $2.64B U.S. and $8.87B global serviceable opportunity across the markets shown.

A shared platform can serve multiple verticals without rebuilding the core sensing, connectivity, and intelligence architecture for each one.

International deployments help demonstrate that the need for better ground intelligence extends across geographies.

GroundWorx’s current operating plan and financial model focus on the United States, where the company can concentrate capital and execution.

Management’s base case therefore does not depend on international expansion; markets outside the U.S. represent potential future upside.

This approach pairs global proof points with a deliberately focused commercialization plan.

Many products measure soil conditions. GroundWorx turns continuous, property-wide data into predictive and prescriptive intelligence.

Its differentiation rests on the combination of in-ground hardware, autonomous connectivity, accumulated field data, AI models, and workflow integration.

Handheld spot-check tools and canopy-level readings can complement operations, but they do not provide the same continuous root-zone view.

The company’s goal is to become the intelligence layer beneath every water-management decision—not another isolated sensor.

GroundWorx is led by operators with experience across wireless systems, enterprise software, IoT, automotive electronics, manufacturing, and logistics.

Founder and CEO Brad David and President and CTO Diego Borrego co-invented the GX-1 Platform and bring decades of wireless and connected-device experience.

The broader leadership team adds commercialization, operations, firmware, supply-chain, and scaling expertise.

That mix matters because success requires the company to manufacture reliable hardware, operate a data platform, and build repeatable distribution at the same time.

GroundWorx’s advisors add practical experience in irrigation technology, agronomy, golf-course operations, enterprise software, manufacturing, finance, and company building.

Their role is to help the company translate technical capability into products and operating decisions that customers will trust.

Domain expertise matters most in water management, where local conditions and frontline workflows shape adoption.

The advisory group extends the team’s reach into the industries and channels GroundWorx plans to serve.

GroundWorx is seeking funding for a full-scale commercial launch and to advance the company toward sustainable operations.

The company is pre-revenue, with $1.8M in paid field trials used to validate the platform and customer outcomes.
