Value Factory Ventures invests in promising startups that are making an impact with pioneering innovations to combat climate change and increase food security. We pull together, in a down to earth way, to make as much possible impact.
Value Factory is all about creating new value - value for the startup, our investors, society and generations to come.
DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
We, the founders of Value Factury Ventures, grew up in the agriculture and horticulturesector and have run successful businesses there. After selling our companies, we are now committed to a sustainable future with Value Factory. We invest in pioneering agritech, food and climate startups that develop disruptive, deeptech technologies to make real impact. We believe here lies the key to solving the world’s most challenging problems: a growing global population, water scarcity and food security, energy transition and climate change.
We support these pioneers with more than capital. We provide expertise, hands-on support and access to our extensive network. This is how we take these early-stage startups to the next level.
SEIZING OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
We invest in promising (very) early-stage startups that we make successful in a short period of time. Successful for the startup, for the agri-food chain and for our investors.
Our initial ticket size is € 200k to € 1 million. We support the company until the next phase, in which (later stage) Venture Capital Funds can step in. Our criteria:
- Agritech, Food & Climate: Startups whose innovative solutions improve sustainability and efficiency in agriculture, horticulture, food chain and/or have a positive impact on the environment & climate.
- Early stage: Early stage (pre-seeding and seeding). From the idea stage to just getting off the ground.
- Disruptive: Innovative and disruptive product/idea using deep-tech such as robotics, AI, blockchain and drone technology.
- Scalability: Profitable within three to five years, commercially scalable. Powerful and driven management.
DOWN TO EARTH ENTREPRENEURS
What distinguish us is our combination of entrepreneurship, our down-to-earth approach, our network and our commitment.
Seeing and realizing opportunities: Value Factory Ventures has extensive experience in building successful businesses. The founders and initial investors have each built and successfully sold their own companies. Doing nothing was not an option, so they joined forces and are boosting promising startups.
Pragmatic & hands-on: Our background in the agriculture & horticulture sector keeps us down to earth. We support startups in a pragmatic and realistic way, working together to achieve success.
Creating more value together: Value Factory’s team combines all knowledge: from agri, technical, business management, marketing to financial expertise. With our large network, we can connect startups, create value and ensure synergy.
