AgFunder

Foodtech/agtech VC on a mission to rapidly transform our food system.

Why FoodTech & AgTech?

Driven by shifts in eating habits, population growth, climate change, and failing soils, our food and agriculture industry face moonshot-sized challenges.

Agri-FoodTech entrepreneurs are stepping up to solve these problems by harnessing the most advanced technologies. From plant-based protein, gene-editing, drones and indoor farming to satellite imaging, precision farming, and computational biology, founders are driving radical transformation in our food and agriculture system with technology.

Agri-FoodTech investment continues to break records, reaching a staggering $20 billion in 2019, up more than 6X from 2012.

“One of the things that has helped accelerate agtech is AgFunder; you guys have been phenomenal in educating the market, both the VCs and the entrepreneurs, and I’m really thankful for the help you guys are bringing to this space.”
JORGE HERAUD, FOUNDER OF BLUERIVER (SOLD TO JOHN DEERE FOR $305M)
