AgFunder

AgFunder is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded in 2013, specializing in agrifoodtech (agriculture and food technology) with a focus on deep tech innovations in AI, biology, climate solutions, and sustainable systems to transform global food production, human health, and planetary resilience. With approximately $300 million in assets under management following the 2024/2025 closing of its oversubscribed $102 million Fund IV and acquisition of a $100 million growth fund, the firm invests primarily in pre-seed to Series A (and some growth) stages across a global portfolio of over 100 companies, backed by its proprietary AI platform (GAIA), industry-leading research, and media arm AgFunderNews. Notable investments include Inari (seed tech unicorn), Plenty (vertical farming), MycoWorks (mushroom-based materials), GreenLight Biosciences (RNA biotech with IPO exit), Aquaconnect (aquaculture marketplace), and recent deep tech plays like Atinary Technologies, Nium, and Rarebird (caffeine-alternative coffee), with a track record of multiple acquisitions and emphasis on impactful, SDG-aligned technologies.
