What we do
We focus on three operating models to achieve our ambitions
Venture Capital
Through a dedicated USD 30Mn fund, Betagro Ventures aims to invest in and support early-stage foodtech & agritech startups globally. We believe in backing bold entrepreneurs who have the vision and technological capabilities to catalyze change across the agriculture and food system.
Venture Building
Through a systematic and stage-gated methodology, we aim to build game-changing ventures that have the potential to revolutionize the agriculture and consumer foods industries.
Partnership
Beyond growth capital and leading scaling capabilities, Betagro Ventures is uniquely positioned to tap into Betagro Group’s broader ecosystem to provide first customers, expertise, operational & customer insights and strategic partnership opportunities.
Our Core Strategies
We focus on three operating models to achieve our ambitions
Improve customers & end-consumers access to high-quality foods
We believe that access to nutritious, delicious and sustainable foods is a fundamental right for everyone and are committed to making this a reality.
Create new and sustainable sources of protein
We believe that the global demand for animal proteins will soon outpace our capacity to produce through traditional means. As such, innovative sources of protein will soon become a necessary complement to traditional proteins.
Optimize existing agro-industrial-food supply chains
We believe that current agro-industrial-food supply chains are growing increasingly inefficient and insufficient to support the world’s demand, and hence we must continuously find ways to do the same thing but better and faster.
