Agritech

Agriculture Is Overdue a Reckoning

The industry that feeds eight billion people runs on infrastructure built for a different century. We back the founders changing that before the market realises what they have built.

About

The Biggest Industry On Earth Has Not Been Rebuilt Yet.

Problems

Agriculture accounts for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, consumes 70% of the world's freshwater, and runs on margin structures that punish the growers who feed everyone. The technology layer is three decades behind every comparable industry.

Opportunity

The firms that rebuild the core infrastructure of global food systems will be among the most consequential companies built this decade. We are finding them at the point where the thesis is clear but the proof is not yet visible to the market.

What We Look For

Infrastructure, not consumer apps

The agritech opportunity is not in marketplaces or price-discovery apps. It is in the core systems that make farm-level operations measurably more efficient.

Domain depth over product polish

The founders who win in agriculture have lived inside the problem. Operator credibility matters more here than anywhere else we invest.

Early before the proof arrives

We back at the point where the thesis is clear but traction is not yet visible. That is when the entry point is right and the price reflects the risk we are willing to carry.
