We are looking to partner with ambitious, tenacious and focused entrepreneurs who are aiming to disrupt large markets with defensible value propositions.

We love to syndicate and build a strong investor base that not only provides capital but also gives access to experience and our extensive knowledge base .
What we offer
As a team of successful entrepreneurs, experienced business managers and investment professionals, we apply our collective operational expertise to assist the development of our portfolio companies in every area.
We offer help with:
Formulating development strategies introducing sound operating policies developing sales and marketing strategies making introductions to key customers and partners establishing financial and budgeting processes developing and strengthening management teams assisting with key aspects across all disciplines advising on employee stock option programmes thinking through fund raising strategies and finding new funding partners working with companies on viable exit strategies
Investment Strategy
As a seed investor we are prepared to ‘take the early risk’ but we also have enough capacity in our funds to support our companies to significant exits.
We will invest as little as £200,000 to back an innovative idea, up to around £1.25 million for a team not yet ready for a traditional Series A investment, through to as much as £3 million for a team with early revenues requiring expansion capital. Critically, we will support our successful portfolio companies with additional funding as they develop over time up to around £6-8 million.
Depth Research
Our dedicated research team helps founders better understand the dynamics in emerging agricultural sectors.
Our in-house research team helps founders better understand the dynamics of the markets. At the point of investment, we create an in-depth market, customer and competitor report for the management team. This report, alongside guidance from the investment team, helps inform strategy and go-to-market positioning. We have deep knowledge of emerging agricultural sectors. We know how they will affect the industry in the future, and support our companies as they adopt them to innovate within the sector.
Entrepreneurs
If you are a agri based business and raising a VC round we would like to meet you and discuss your business and its financial requirements. Contact us at info@biogreencapital.com
We would ideally like to see:
Management presentation
Operating metrics / KPI’s
Financial history and forecasts
If you think BioGreen Capital is the sort of partner you are looking for we would encourage you to see us early, well before your fundraise, and keep us updated on the progress of your business.
It is not necessary to do this but it is the most effective way to make sure we are up to speed at the right time.
