Oikos Innovation Capital

Oikos Innovation Capital is a venture capital fund based in Montevideo, Uruguay, that invests in companies developing solutions across the agrifood value chain. Its stated focus spans three related domains: AgriTech, FoodTech and ClimateTech. The fund describes an impact-investing orientation and a mandate that runs the length of the sector, from agricultural inputs through to end-consumer products.

The technical areas in which the firm engages extend beyond agrifood proper, encompassing artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, cybersecurity, robotics, fintech, biotechnology and industrial technologies. These are listed as relevant domains rather than as defined investment verticals; the agrifood value chain remains the organising principle.

Oikos operates from a single office in Montevideo and is founded and led by Lisandro Bril, who serves as founder and general partner. The firm states that it engages with a broad set of counterparties, including institutional investors, family offices, angels, small and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs.
