Investment thesis

SP Ventures invests in early- and growth-stage companies transforming the AgFood value chain across Latin America, positioning itself as a leading AgTech VC in the region. The firm targets innovations that improve food security and climate resilience — smarter agriculture, lower emissions, and more sustainable food systems. It backs bold entrepreneurs reinventing agriculture 'from soil to shelf,' supporting them with an industry-specialized team, an extensive network, talent recruitment, and hands-on operational involvement through growth, fundraising, and strategy. Its portfolio spans agricultural credit and fintech, ag biologicals, farm data infrastructure, and livestock digitalization, reflecting a thesis that food and agriculture technology can address urgent health, economic, and environmental challenges.
