Where Technology and Impact Intersect
We back visionary founders who leverage disruptive technologies to change the way we eat, live, and grow with our planet.
FoodTech
Innovating for the Better
We recognize the immense challenges posed by the way we live on our planet. More than ever, we face an existential need to change the way we source our sustenance, materials, and energy for the better.
We believe that technology is key to bridging the gap between our increasing needs and declining resource supply. We envision a world where quality of life is not only globally accessible and plentiful, but where production is resilient and environmentally sustainable.
Our responsibility is to catalyze disruptive innovations in the ways we produce and consume to improve the health of our planet and its 8 billion people, without compromising on quality of life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the development and adoption of game-changing technologies across the $9T global food system.
As humans, we embrace the moral obligation to graduate to a greener way of living. As investors, we identify the strongest structural tailwind behind these industries: the preservation of our planet. We back mission-driven founders who put the health of people and the planet at the forefront of their visions.
