Rooted in agriculture.
Focused on investment.
Innventure Food & Agtech brings together investment professionals, producers, scientists and industry leaders to back early-stage companies transforming the agrifood economy across the Americas.
Our perspective has been shaped by proximity to the environments where technologies are tested, valued and adopted: farms, cooperatives, agribusinesses, scientific institutions, commercial networks and capital markets.
We have a network that understands agriculture and food production from the inside.
Innventure Food & Agtech was built on Aapresid, a network of 1,800 innovative producers—the pioneers behind no-till farming practices now used across 85% of the Southern Cone—together with deep agronomic, biological and business expertise. They have been leaders in regenerative agriculture since 1989 and are founders of the American Confederation of Farmers’ Associations.
