Innventure launches second food and agtech fund, targets AI-driven agrifood startups

What's the deal? Innventure has launched Innventure Food & Agtech — Fund II, its second investment vehicle backing companies across the global agrifood system. The firm announced the fund on LinkedIn but did not disclose its size.

What's the endgame? The fund will target companies working with artificial intelligence, biotechnology, automation, and data. Innventure said its platform is built to speed technology adoption, strengthen commercial traction, and help portfolio companies reach scale.

Why now? Innventure tied the launch to what it called a new era for food and agriculture — one defined by advanced technology and the need for systems that can withstand climate and supply pressures. It framed Fund II as an evolution of the sector expertise, technology validation, and network built through Fund I.

Who's involved? The firm credited its general partners, an investment committee, portfolio companies, producers, and strategic partners. Named ecosystem partners include Bayer Crop Science, EY-Parthenon, TCA Tanoira Cassagne, Endeavor Argentina, and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA).

The list also features Bolsa de Comercio de Rosario, Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas, Agricultores Federados Argentinos, and Aapresid, the Argentine No-Till Farmers Association. The mix signals a strong presence in Argentina and the wider Latin American agricultural sector.

The signal: Innventure is betting that AI and biotech will reshape how food is produced, and is positioning itself close to farmers and corporates rather than technology alone. By anchoring the fund in Latin America's farming base, it is targeting a region central to the sector's next phase of growth.
