Investment thesis
Future Food Fund is an impact-focused venture fund backing early-stage (seed to Series A) founders in Europe developing technology-driven solutions across agrifoodtech. Its focus spans sustainable farming (biological crop protection, seed innovation, digital soil monitoring, AI-driven farming), resilient supply chains (demand-supply matching, sourcing transparency, carbon footprinting, verified insetting), and sustainable food development (precision fermentation, cell-based CDMOs, upcycled ingredients, and bio-based or compostable packaging). Guided by the planetary boundaries framework, the fund applies its own impact methodology across the entire investment process and offers capital, knowledge, and a specialist food and agriculture network.
