We believe that a radical change to our food, agriculture, and ocean sectors is necessary to meet our climate, biodiversity, water, and human health goals. We invest $100-750k in pre-seed and seed stage companies working to transform these sectors. Our average time to reach a yes / no decision is 14 days (but check back because we update this number live). We keep our investment process targeted so you can go back to building your company. We only have a decade to change our trajectory - let's not waste time.
