Unlike traditional venture capital, Carrot Ventures does not invest in existing companies. Carrot Ventures builds new companies to bring AgTech innovations to market.

Why Is An Alternative Necessary? 

Sometimes innovators have no interest in becoming tech company founders. Sometimes, promising innovations fail to gain corporate support or to raise capital. Sometimes it takes a larger or more experienced team to prepare a company for rapid growth.

What’s important is that venture studios like Carrot offer a compelling commercialization path worth considering.

Who We Work With:

• AgTech researchers and private inventors
• Farmers and fabricators with field-tested innovations
• Corporate and university technology transfer offices
• Company founders and investors who need a Plan B

What’s An AgTech Venture Studio

A venture studio differs from traditional venture financing in that they create the companies they invest in. They partner with technology owners who do not want to become tech company founders.

Studios lay a solid foundation that institutional investors can get behind and support. Once they find a technology, they source an ideal company founder, provide guidance,  financing and governance to prepare companies for rapid growth.

Why Work With A Venture Studio?

Studies show that studio-launched ventures have raised more capital, reached go-to-market, Series A, and exit faster than entrepreneur-led startups.
