Sagegreenlife is bringing living walls to a growing market with new technologies that allow people to bring the outside inside. The company builds its living, green plant walls on a patented hydroponic system without any soil. The "Biotile" stone was developed by UK-based Biotecture, Ltd. Sagegreenlife's founder, Richard Kincaid explains that LED plant lights provide an enabling technology by allowing plants to grow without direct sunlight. Kincaid estimates the 2015 market for living walls at about $100 million. He hopes to see Sagegreenlife achieve revenue of $3 to $5 million for 2017. The business generates gross margins of about 60% but is not yet profitable. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2w4EAq2.
