Cultiv8 Funds Management

Cultiv8 Funds Management is an Australian funds manager investing in companies developing technologies for agriculture and food systems. Its remit spans the value chain from on-farm production through processing, distribution and consumer-facing solutions, with particular attention to the red meat and livestock sector. The firm is headquartered in Orange, New South Wales, maintains an office in Sydney, and invests against a global mandate.

Investment activity is organised across two vehicles. The Agriculture and Food Technology Fund supports technologies intended to change how food and farming systems operate. The Livestock Technology Fund targets technologies relevant to the red meat and livestock value chain. Initial cheques range from $500,000 to $3 million, deployed across Pre-Seed to Series B.

Technical areas of interest include software, automation, biology, advanced materials and artificial intelligence, applied to agricultural technology, food technology and livestock technology. The stated emphasis is on practical solutions addressing productivity, profitability, resilience and supply-chain performance.

Alongside capital, the firm provides sector insight, strategic networks and commercial support, with a focus on moving portfolio companies from early traction toward commercial scale.
