that a radical change to our food, agriculture, and ocean sectors is necessary to meet our climate, biodiversity, water, justice, and human health goals.
We invest
$100-750k in pre-seed and seed stage companies working to transform the food, agriculture, and oceans sectors.
We invest globally, with a focus in the US and Europe.
Our average time to reach a yes / no decision is 18 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.
If you are building an early stage company in the food, agriculture, or oceans sectors, please contact us at contact@ponderosavc.com
