Founder / Advisor
Steve Gereb
Practical advisory for teams evaluating, developing, commercializing, or improving technology-enabled food infrastructure projects.
Steve brings experience across controlled-environment agriculture, agtech operations, North American market development, project commercialization, and stakeholder-facing materials for complex infrastructure concepts.
FieldGrid is built for situations where teams need calm, commercially grounded support: assessing project readiness, clarifying partner roles, preparing materials for investors or lenders, and translating technical options into practical execution plans.
FieldGrid Advisory is independent. References to specific technology ecosystems, including IGS-related implementation considerations, reflect advisory experience and ecosystem familiarity; FieldGrid does not represent IGS, is not endorsed by IGS, and is not an official IGS channel.
