We back founders working on the hardest problems in agriculture — carbon, soil, water, and what we eat next. Based in Chicago. Invested across North America.
We back pre-Series A and Series A teams working on soil biology, carbon farming, regenerative inputs, and precision management tools. Typical check: $4–12M led. Portfolio includes Verdant Soil Co. and Fieldspan Analytics.
We invest in irrigation technology, real-time watershed monitoring, and drought-response tools at Series A and B. Typical check: $5–15M. Portfolio includes RainLedger and ClearCarbon.
We lead early rounds in biomaterials, alternative proteins, and circular ag inputs displacing petrochemical and feedlot-dependent supply chains. Typical check: $3–10M. Portfolio includes Mycoform Materials and TerraProtein.
31 companies. A few we can talk about.
Biological soil amendment platform improving carbon retention and crop yield.
Sustainable AgReal-time water usage monitoring and trading platform for irrigated agriculture.
Water TechVerified carbon credit issuance for North American row crop farms.
CarbonMycelium-based packaging and structural materials from agricultural waste.
BiomaterialsFermentation-derived protein ingredients from non-GMO legume feedstocks.
Alt ProteinsRemote sensing and satellite data tools for precision farm management.
Sustainable AgWe track early traction: pilot customers, land partnership agreements, regulatory movement. We get in early when the signal is real.
6-10 weeks. We know agri. We go deep on science, unit economics, and team. We've seen what breaks at scale and ask those questions early.
We join the board. We bring our network, not just capital. Our value comes from two decades of Midwest ag relationships, not pitch-deck advice.
Our fund horizon is 12 years. We stay through the hard cycles. Agriculture doesn't move at SaaS speed and neither do we.
We invest at Series A and B. If you're working in climate, ag, or sustainable materials — we want to hear from you.
