Start-Ups x Venture Capital: Building Successful AgTech Ventures
AgTech is evolving fast, and so are the rules of venture funding. This session offers an honest look at what it really takes to succeed - whether you’re VC-backed or bootstrapped. We’ll unpack lessons from the past 36 months, explore which business models and technologies attract capital, and discuss how expectations around cap tables have shifted. Learn how founders can keep their product, business, and financing on a healthy path, and what VCs bring beyond money - networks, expertise, and operational support. Plus, we’ll tackle the big question: Does the VC model truly fit AgTech?
