Anterra Capital
Description
Anterra Capital is a prominent venture capital firm based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, exclusively focused on investing in companies that are transforming the global food system. As a specialist AgriFood Tech investor, the firm targets innovative businesses across the entire value chain, from sustainable agriculture and precision farming to alternative proteins, food safety, and supply chain optimization. Their mission is to back entrepreneurs who are addressing critical challenges in food production, distribution, and consumption, aiming to build a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable future for food.
The firm primarily invests in Series A and Series B rounds, seeking out high-growth companies with proven technologies and strong market traction. In 2019, Anterra Capital successfully closed its second fund, Anterra Capital II, at a substantial $125 million. This capital pool enables them to provide significant financial backing to their portfolio companies, not only for initial investments but also for subsequent growth stages. Their strategic limited partners, including Rabobank and Eight Roads (Fidelity's proprietary investment arm), provide invaluable industry insights and global network access, which is a key differentiator for their portfolio companies.
Anterra Capital's typical initial investment ranges from $3 million to $10 million, demonstrating their commitment to providing meaningful capital that can fuel substantial growth and product development. Beyond the initial cheque, Anterra also reserves significant follow-on capital to support their portfolio companies through multiple funding rounds as they scale. This long-term partnership approach, combined with their deep sector expertise and strong network, positions Anterra Capital as a key player in the global AgriFood Tech investment landscape, actively shaping the future of food.
