Lever VC is a leading FoodTech and AgTech specialist venture capital firm, investing globally in entrepreneurs creating a more sustainable and healthier food system. Lever VC's Fund II is actively investing across food tech, crop tech, animal ag tech, and consumer-facing F&B goods with a focus on improving health and sustainability in our food systems. Lever VC invests globally, with a portfolio spanning North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the GCC. Lever VC’s USD 80 Million Fund I has invested since 2019 in over thirty leading companies spanning alternative proteins, crop genetics, machinery, functional ingredients, pet, plant-based dairy, and meat alternatives, packaged meals, bars/powders/supplements, cell cultivation, fermentation, and sector service providers. Lever VC’s Fund I has consistently remained a top-decile performer for its vintage year (per Pitchbook industry benchmarks). Lever VC’s Fund II held a first close in early 2024 and is currently open to new investment. Over the years, Lever VC has established a reputation as a top value-add investor in the FoodTech, AgTech, and future of protein space, closely supporting portfolio companies in areas including strategy, sales, fundraising, media, and more. This reputation as well as its sector expertise (including the expertise of its in-house scientific and technical team) provide added advantages to the Fund for deal origination, due diligence, market intelligence, and supporting its portfolio companies. Lever VC’s founding partners have been active investors in the alternative protein, animal protein, and broad FoodTech/AgTech categories for the past decade, backing a range of major winners across these categories in the US, Europe, and Asia and deploying over half a billion in capital (including investments made outside of Lever VC) across over 100 deals, with stellar exits and IRRs.
