Our Story
Lucas and Gabriel met while studying engineering and bonded over their shared love for plants and technology. After experiencing the frustration of constantly forgetting to water their plants and seeing them wither away, they decided to create a solution that would make plant care effortless and accessible to everyone.
Leafly was born from their vision to combine cutting-edge technology with elegant design to solve a common problem. After two years of research, development, and testing, they're excited to bring Leafly to plant lovers everywhere in July 2025.
