Clip & Grow System

Modular vertical growing towers with a universal clip-and-fix mounting system — configure them horizontally, vertically, or as walls of connected towers for maximum flexibility and space efficiency.

Seeking Funding for Production

Working prototypes validated in real-world use. Ready for production tooling, clip mechanism refinement, and scaling up.

Product Vision

Grow Anywhere, Any Configuration

The Clip & Grow System reimagines vertical growing with a universal mounting solution. Each tower features a standardized clip-and-fix system on the back, allowing users to mount them to walls, connect them together, attach grow lights, or even lay them horizontally for NFT-style production.

This flexibility means one product serves countless use cases — from a single tower on a balcony to a full wall of connected towers in a greenhouse. The clip system ensures stable mounting while allowing easy reconfiguration as needs change.

Designed for aquaponic and hydroponic use, the towers feature built-in water channels, plant site cutouts, and drainage paths. Users can scale from hobby to commercial production with the same core components.

Clip and grow system in use

Key Features

  • Universal clip-and-fix mounting system on rear
  • Mount vertically, horizontally, or in connected arrays
  • Integrated water channels for NFT or drip systems
  • Attach grow lights directly to clip system
  • Food-safe materials throughout
  • Modular — build walls of towers or individual stations

Next Steps Required

  • Engineering refinement of clip mechanism strength
  • Injection moulding tooling for tower bodies
  • Load testing for wall-mounted configurations
  • Accessory design for grow lights and connectors
  • Market validation and distribution partnerships

Flexible Applications

Vertical Growing

Mount towers vertically on walls or freestanding frames for maximum space efficiency in small areas.

Horizontal NFT

Lay towers horizontally for traditional NFT growing — perfect for greenhouse benches or rack systems.

Living Walls

Connect multiple towers together to create productive green walls for homes, offices, or restaurants.
