Newtree Impact

We aim to be the preferred partner in accelerating the value of entrepreneurs’ disruptive companies and the transformation of Koch Industries. THE CORNERSTONES OF OUR PHILOSOPHY CREATIVE DESTRUCTION KDT embraces disruption by promoting creative destruction - the continuous process of iterating, improving and destroying current business models and platforms, EVEN OUR OWN. We partner with emerging high-growth companies that are committed to doing the same. MUTUAL BENEFIT In each of our investments, we look for aligned vision and values as well as complementary capabilities. We can then leverage our massive network of companies and partners to help any young company grow exponentially. By aligning incentives, the company has a greater impact, Koch learns new business models and technologies, and society improves dramatically - a mutual benefit scenario for all. LONG-TERM THINKING By taking a long-term, contrarian approach to investing, we free our partners to create new capabilities and disrupt large industries. We are not bound by fund cycles or predetermined exit strategies. We are focused on helping our companies create the most impactful and profitable scenario possible, and we remain committed to navigating all the unpredictable situations with them. OUR APPROACH Stage Agnostic We have the flexibility and long-term thinking to invest anywhere in the life cycle of a company, from seed to late-stage growth. Thematic Investing We invest across various industries anywhere in the world. Some of our investments will be ancillary to Koch’s core businesses and some will be in completely new industries. See our Investment Themes below. Situationally Focused We review each opportunity on individual merit and timing, not concerning ourselves with popular themes or concentration limits. INVESTMENT CRITERIA• Principled Entrepreneurship Leadership with aligned vision, values and complementary capabilities. • Disruptive Potential to significantly disrupt current market solutions or market alternatives. • Mutual Benefit Strategic engagement where KDT can help a company accelerate even beyond the capital infusion. • High Potential Potential to create a world-changing platform where people think, act, or behave differently.

We are the corporate venture capital arm of Paulig, investing in startups that contribute to a tastier, healthier and more sustainable planet. We seek financial and societal impact in our investments, as well as a strategic link between Paulig and the startups we back. As an evergreen fund connected to a 150-year-old family-owned business, we don’t have a determined time for exit and always act in the best joint interest of the startup and investors. Our investment focus PINC was launched as Paulig Incubator in 2018 to help Paulig stay in the forefront of relevant innovations, as well as to contribute to a tastier, healthier and more sustainable planet. Today, our ambition is the same, but we have developed into a corporate venture arm. We aim for strategic, financial, and societal impact in our investments, fostering a sustainable food system for tomorrow. We are investing across the agrifood value chain in three primary impact themes: Improve planetary health and diet within the current food system: This includes innovations in agriculture and food security, such as advanced crop breeding or green fertilizers, innovative ingredients and next generation healthy foods, as well as solutions for tracking and improving climate and nature. Novel technologies to feed 10 BN people by 2050: Technologies needed to sustainably produce enough food for our growing population. This includes food production without land use change, such as precision fermentation and cell-cultivation. A circular system for food & materials: Regardless of whether we grow our food in soil or in bioreactors, the system needs to be circular. Some examples are upcycled ingredients, food from unused sources, new coating and packaging solutions, as well as technologies to prevent or make better use of side streams. We are looking for entrepreneurs in an attractive market space with an intrinsic drive to find a solution to the problem they are addressing, a clear and scalable plan for success, a complimentary team and partners whom we can trust and work closely with. We value collaboration and are proactively working with building strong investment syndicates, in which we’re flexible in our role as co-investor, co-lead, or lead investor, if there is a strong strategic link. As a corporate venture capital and evergreen fund, we always act in the best joint interest of the startup and investors.

We work with exceptional entrepreneurs to help scale their business with capital and resources.

We lean towards tech-enabled, sustainable AgriFood companies in the late stage VC/growth stage with converging to positive operating cash flow. This limits risk and leads to outsized returns. We lead deals and work with entrepreneurs through active board participation. We create distinctive, highly effective Value Enhancement Plans for each of our investments to ensure our entrepreneurs reach scale.
