Investing in underserved founders with innovative tech solutions to challenges in the food and agricultural sectors


The51 Food and AgTech Fund

The51 Food and AgTech Fund invests in startups developing scalable innovations across the agriculture value chain. The Fund’s thesis is to provide capital, advice, and support to enable tech entrepreneurs with the tenacity to reach strong financial returns with positive environmental and social impact. Currently the fund is targeting early-stage (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A) and six sectors across the value chain – Ag Biotechnology, Farm Innovation, Food Innovation, Automation, Supply Chain and Climate AgTech.


The51 Food and AgTech Fund is managed by NYA Ventures Inc., a joint venture between CNSRV-X and The51 Ventures. Boann’s investment recognizes the Food & AgTech Fund’s potential to help transform food systems for the betterment of our planet while investing in diverse and underserved founders.
