Iron Ox
Iron Ox (legally Inevitable Tech, Inc.) was a San Carlos, California robotics company that built autonomous indoor farms — hydroponic greenhouses worked by mobile transport robots and a robotic arm that seeded, moved, imaged and harvested leafy greens and herbs, with machine learning used to spot pests and disease plant by plant. Founded in 2015 by Brandon Alexander and Jon Binney, it went through Y Combinator (W16), raised roughly $98 million in total including a $53 million Series C led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures in September 2021, and ran greenhouses in Gilroy, California and Lockhart, Texas. It cut about half its staff — roughly 50 people — in November 2022 and ceased operations in mid-2023. Iron Ox never ran a developer program: it sold produce, not software, and the only public code it ever shipped was internal ROS robotics tooling on GitHub. Its site, ironox.com, is now a GoDaddy parking lander and every developer subdomain has been removed from DNS, so there is no API, specification, SDK or documentation surface left to profile.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Iron Ox is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Iron Ox scores 5.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Iron Ox ceased operations in mid-2023 and ironox.com is now a GoDaddy parking lander that answers HTTP 200 with the same 114-byte redirect to /lander for every path, including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ document.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Iron Ox does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Iron Ox is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Iron Ox, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
