• In an interview, Arama Kukutai, co-founder and partner at Finistere Ventures, talked about agtech investing. According to Kukutai, when they think about the capital that went to food tech last year, roughly $16 billion, and the venture capital in agtech, about $1.5 billion, the sector is underinvested. They've got four or five new deals they are working on this year. By the end of this year they'll be well positioned with the current fund and thinking about what comes next. While agtech| is a niche part of the venture capital asset class, it is a growing part. It has got a lot of demand from among capital providers. That is partly due to the quality of companies that are out there to invest in and the continuing macroeconomic tailwinds.
