Lots of people want to invest with impact - but it's complex to get started. ESG does not equal impact. The regulatory framework is complex. Lots of funds are advertising with green claims and labels and little to back it up. So networks like Toniic that spend time and resources actually doing the research are extremely valuable. They enable impact driven investors to find ways to invest with a positive impact - and take a lot of the hassle out of the process. We were lucky enough to be introduced to Toniic by Michael Viegener. After a first call and several exchanges on our impact strategy, we uploaded our fund on their platform. This generated enough interest for a call where we presented fund II, to Toniic members in person. And after this - we are thankful to have gained LPs for our fund through Toniic. The transition to a sustainable food system is urgent, important, and technologically feasible. From bio-based solutions to automation and AI to robotics - we are seeing highly technical solutions to important problems being developed by great founders in Germany and Europe. Despite the size and scope of the sector, European Venture Capital entered the Food & AgTech sector only within the last 8 years and in 2023, Food- & AgTech only received 8% of all climate related funding. So the opportunity is rife. And it's great to have communities and facilitators like Toniic and Julien Gafarou moving the investment world forward. #VentureCapital #Food #AgTech #Investment #Capital #Future

Private markets have traditionally been leaders in fostering innovation. Now with the growth of #impactinvesting – particularly #privateequity strategies that focus on impact – a broader set of investors have the potential to benefit from the companies driving innovation and transformation. In our #agritech strategy, managed by Zebra Impact Ventures, we focus on growth-stage companies delivering solutions to the world’s broken food systems, through redesigning how agricultural land is preserved, how food is produced, and reinventing what we eat. Private capital can help these companies both fulfil their growth potential and accelerate nature-positive transformation for our plant.
