Portfolio customers: Bayer, GDM, Corteva, Coca-Cola, Bunge, GrainCorp, Cargill, ABInBev, McCain, UPL, Advanta, Adecoagro, CRESUD, AGD, Amaggi, Lartirigoyen, Nufarm, JBS, Sigma, Syngenta, JBT-Marel (US)
Portfolio geography: +40 countries & 5 continents
1.8-year weighted average holding period
Software that digitizes and values on-farm assets (grain and livestock), turning them into collateral to access credit, insurance, warrants and at-origin trading.
Platform that processes multiple agronomic data sources to diagnose each producer’s profitability field by field, at pixel level, and identifies the optimal variables (seeding density, fertilizer rates, etc.) to improve returns.
AI-based selective spraying system that controls weeds in fallow, soybean and corn by telling weeds apart from the crop through morphology, delivering average agrochemical savings of 75%.
IoT- and AI-based technology that prevents outages, optimizes energy use and monitors and manages the cold chain of refrigerated food and beverages in real time, while reporting commercial insights to increase sales.
Technology that combines satellites, cameras and AI to monitor, detect, alert and predict wildfire progression in real time.
Machine learning and AI technology for real-time grain quality analysis and varietal recognition, reducing cost and time while increasing accuracy.
Platform that combines biotechnology and AI to map and identify the best microbial strains, from third parties or its own library, to accelerate bio-input development while reducing risk and time to market.
Software that organizes, integrates and traces product data end to end across multiple agrifood chains, enabling compliance with certification requirements and access to differentiated markets.
AI-based software that runs computational trials and predicts crop behavior under specific factors (environment, soil, etc.) to develop new products faster, more efficiently and more precisely.
Nanotech solution (powdered nanoparticles) mixed into herbicide and fertilizer applications that boosts the active ingredient, reducing agrochemical use by up to 80%.
Edible coatings made from biopolymers produced by fungi and bacteria to protect specialty crops, matching the effectiveness of synthetic pesticides and of plastic-based packaging and waxes.
AI-based software that optimizes retail operations: in-store execution (validates tasks and analyzes displays, promotions and pricing), expiry prevention (early detection and promotion execution) and smart inventory.
Gene-editing technology that optimizes photosynthesis by regulating a gene present in all plants, increasing crop yields and making crops more resilient to stress such as drought.
System for developing reforestation and restoration projects on degraded land across LATAM, using satellite technology, drones and a native seed bank with biodegradable capsules that deliver biostimulants.
Develops non-GMO herbicide-tolerance traits for crops through CRISPR editing, enabling more efficient and profitable weed control, 2× faster and 10× cheaper than GMO approaches.
Parametric insurance. High-resolution satellites, sensors and AI to better predict, measure and respond to climate risk, identifying potential losses, estimating threats, improving coverage accuracy and speeding up payouts.
Electro-stimulation treatment for seeds and grain using non-thermal plasma technology that improves germination and vigor and controls pathogens and insects.

Innventure Food & Agtech – Fund I / High-Impact Investments
Revaluation in 21 months average between investment and subsequent funding round
FOODTECH
Sensify uses AI to monitor and optimize the food cold chain, preserving quality and safety across 19 countries while delivering up to 15% energy savings in partnership with leading global food & beverage companies.
We connected Sensify with high-value industry mentors and are supporting the company in exploring new markets and value chains, including dairy, fruit, meat, and animal health, leveraging our network and industry expertise across the agrifood ecosystem.
AGTECH
DeepAgro uses AI and computer vision to enable precision spraying, achieving herbicide-use reductions of up to 75% across more than 1 million hectares, while reducing water consumption, plastic waste, and chemical pollution.
We supported DeepAgro by connecting the company with leading producers and investors, helping strengthen and evolve its business model, and increasing its visibility and positioning through major producer and Agtech events across the region.
CLIMATETECH
Satellites on Fire has developed the world’s fastest wildfire-detection system, using AI and satellite data to help protect forests, people, and critical infrastructure across 21 countries.
We supported the company’s growth by facilitating connections with potential customers—particularly forestry companies and public agencies—as well as investors. We also strengthened its regional visibility and positioning by connecting the company with leading Agtech and ClimateTech events across Latin America.
