Acre Venture Partners

Acre is a venture capital firm focused exclusively on the food and agriculture sectors, investing in companies developing breakthrough technologies and critical infrastructure aimed at transforming the global food system. The firm operates on a foundational thesis that driving positive, lasting change in food and agriculture generates exceptional financial returns — positioning impact and profitability as complementary rather than competing objectives. Acre partners with entrepreneurs, operators, and innovators across the full spectrum of food and agtech, from early-stage startups to companies building scalable infrastructure with systemic potential. The firm's investment focus spans four core thematic areas: population health, planetary well-being, responsible production and consumption, and climate solutions. These pillars reflect a holistic view of the food system — one that accounts for human nutrition and public health alongside environmental sustainability, supply chain accountability, and climate resilience. Acre's team is composed of operators, entrepreneurs, policy leaders, sustainability experts, and seasoned investors who bring deep, domain-specific expertise across food, agriculture, and innovation. This multidisciplinary composition allows the firm to function not merely as a capital provider but as an active, hands-on collaborator — offering strategic guidance, industry relationships, and real-world operating insight to portfolio companies at every stage of growth. The firm describes venture capital as a service business, reflecting a partnership-oriented philosophy that prioritizes meaningful engagement with founders over transactional deal-making. This approach enables Acre to support companies navigating complex regulatory, commercial, and technological challenges inherent to reshaping food and agricultural systems. Acre's geographic and sector reach spans agtech, food technology, and consumer-facing food brands, making it a broadly capable partner for companies at the intersection of innovation and impact within the CPG and food supply chain ecosystem. Its pragmatic, experience-grounded perspective distinguishes it within the impact investing landscape.
