Artesian Global Agrifood VC Fund

The Artesian Global Agrifood VC Fund is a venture capital fund managed by Artesian, focusing on investing in a diversified portfolio of global AgriFood startups with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and food security. The fund aims to invest in approximately 100-200 seed to Series A stage AgriFood startups over a 5-year period, targeting a greater than 20% internal rate of return (IRR). It has a 10-year duration, with a 5-year investment period, and has the capacity for up to $200 million in funds under management (FUM) from institutional, corporate, and family office limited partners (LPs) seeking diversified AgriFood startup exposure and a pre-screened, de-risked pipeline of later-stage investments. The fund plans to invest approximately $40-50 million per year for 5 years, generally taking equity stakes in each startup but may also use other instruments such as convertible notes and venture debt.
