Our venture capital funds invest in regenerative Ag and Food Tech startups
We invest in Ag & Food Tech startups. We invest in companies that contribute anywhere from farm to fork. This offers our LP broad diversification while leveraging our team’s domain expertise.
Examples of investment opportunities:
Farm robotics
Lighter vehicles that drive (semi-) autonomously reducing soil compaction and improving labour efficiency.AI
- Vision: Crop, weet, and pest detection.
- Optimisation: Optimal regenerative cropping and climate change simulations.
- Sequencing: Design improved herbicides and pesticides.Alternative protein
Lab-grown meat and improved animal feed.Wast reduction
Creating new products from what used to be waste.Food safety
Optimize packages to show product shelf life. Clean energy.
Bio-tech
- Biopesticides: naturally occurring substances that control pests and diseases
- Biostimulants: enhance plant growth and plant stress resilience using naturally occurring substances (e.g. seaweed)
- Inoculants: enhance plant growth and stress resilience using microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi)
- Macrobials: large organisms used for pest control, for example: insects, mites, and nematodes.

VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS WITH IMPACT
The problem: our food system is responsible for 70% of fresh water usage, 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and uses 40% of all available land. Our food system is the primary driver of biodiversity loss. The nutritional value of the food we eat has dropped. And, our food consumptions patters have an adverse impact on our health.
The solution: change. The problem is huge. Luckily there are many great solutions that tackle these problems. The above mentioned investment opportunities are some of the solutions we need to improve our food system. To make this change, we support the change-makers. We finance start-ups and founding teams that contribute to a better food system.
