Many VCs in Ag - HighTech intersection!

Hi guys,

I’ve spent some time looking for VCs that have been investing in this intersection of Agriculture and HighTech where we are. I’ve found there several! I’m very enthused! I’ve had contacts or introductions to the first 4. Cort from UC Berkeley helped a lot!.

The more I think about it, the more I like trying to get our early money from 2-3 sources - someone in the Technology side, someone in the Ag side and perhaps someone from the Agri-Industry side (which might just be an advisor and not an actual investor).

Here is the list I have so far:

Paul Matteucci from US Venture Partners (Sand Hill Rd)

Alex Kinnier from Khosla Ventures

Andrew Williamson from Physics Venture (San Francisco)

Ronald Meeusen from Midpoint / Cultivian (Indiana)

Also, I’m trying to figure out how to get in touch with One Earth Capital (Felton, CA).
They have invested in Marrone Bioinnovations (organic chemicals) and in Pure Sense, a company I know.
