Investment Strategy
Creating Global Value Through Investments in Food Production, Food Safety, & Food Waste.
Fulcrum Global Capital invests in innovative and promising agriculture (including agtech) and animal health companies that capitalize on the compelling market opportunities driven by the explosive growth of the global population and the resulting strain on the food supply. As early-stage investors we believe in active management and are often involved in formulating strategy, recruiting key executives, and solidifying other industry and investor relationships for our portfolio companies. We seek to bring value beyond our investment capital through our industry expertise and strategic partners.
A growing population, reduced available land and water for food production and changes in population demographics, will fundamentally change how and what the world eats.
Technologies that drive crop and animal yields, analytics that allow for production optimization, and diagnose, detect, predict and treat disease will all be of paramount importance in meeting this challenge.
