Camille Richman
Co-Founder and CEO of Hamama
Camille Richman co-founded HAMAMA because I was inspired by the power of indoor agriculture technologies to improve access to the freshest food possible, no matter the location, season, or geographic location. While developing the Food Computer at the MIT Media Lab (see that work here), we saw a bubbling in the smart garden space and a general consumer interest in gardens that do all the work for you. The Food Computer and smart gardens on the market were cost-prohibitive due to the sensing and computing hardware necessary for consumers’ desired level of automation. Daniel Goodman and I founded HAMAMA and invented Seed Quilts® to create an automated garden powered by clever material combinations and manufacturing techniques, instead of sensors and computers.

Co-Founder/CEO of Instavisit
Welcome to my profile! I’m an entrepreneur with 5+ years of experience in marketing, advertising, residential real estate and everything startups. Working on RentalHomesCanada, I’ve helped top tier real estate management companies like Oxford Properties and Timbercreek maximize and harness their online presence. I’m currently developing a mobile app that’s redefining home search for your mobile lifestyle. In an on-demand world where instant gratification matters, traditional real estate websites have gotten very complaisant with their position within the web and it’s hard for them to adapt to a mobile world where quality matters, where word-of-mouth is where people find out about new services, where responsiveness is key. Our team set out to fix this problem and I’ll be glad to tell you more about it very soon. I’m moving to San Francisco, ping me anytime for breakfast I’m an early-riser!
