About Innova

Innova is an early-stage venture capital firm backing the founders building AgTech and FarmTech that makes farming more profitable. We write the first institutional check, then work alongside you. Our thesis is narrow on purpose. These are the places where technology changes a farmer's economics, and where an early check has the most leverage. Inputs Seed, feed, nutrition, crop protection and biologicals, vaccines and antibiotics that improve outcomes without raising unit cost. Labor Robotics and autonomy for work that is dangerous, repetitive, or simply cannot be staffed anymore. On-farm data Sensors, cameras, and instruments that capture what is actually happening in the field, the bin, and the barn. Actionable reports Intelligent software that turns that siloed data into a decision a farmer can make before the window closes.
