Where investors, growers, and early stage agtech ventures meet to accelerate innovation in agriculture

AgriSpace is an early-stage agtech investment syndicate facilitated through an intuitive online platform bringing together investors and growers with agtech venture businesses.

The syndicate structure allows individual capital to be pooled together to invest in selected agtech ventures featured on the platform. Individuals can opt in or out of each deal and, due to the pooled nature, the minimum investment sizes are lower.

Startups are able to reach multiple investors through the platform and for an investment to appear as one line item on their cap table.
