Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Bertram is a founder-operator combining 8 years of robotics, mechatronics, and machine learning experience to commercialize scalable vertical farming as CEO and Co-founder of OnePointOne. He leads a cross-disciplinary team applying plant science, robotics, and AI to produce pesticide-free, Michelin-quality produce with industrial profitability and global-scale ambitions. A former Stanford research scholar and advisory board member for engineering at both Stanford and Santa Clara University, Sam bridges academic rigor with product-driven engineering. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on robotics and mechatronics and has hands-on experience building multi-robot systems and automation in research labs. Based in Scottsdale, he brings both technical depth and operator grit—equally comfortable presenting to industry leaders or iterating on control systems in the lab. An R user with a background in food security research, he uniquely frames vertical farming as a solution to malnutrition and global supply gaps rather than just an indoor agriculture innovation.
