Is agtech a good fit for venture capital, and vice versa?

This question - existential for some - is flying around in the ether right now.

We’ve been thinking about both the bearish and bullish answers a lot lately. And we’ve been intrigued by the possibility of shifting the question away from black and white answers, into nuance. Namely, we’ve been asking: if venture capital is not a perfect fit for agtech, but there are big opportunities for technology in agriculture, how else might agtech companies get funded?

To help us take on this larger inquiry, we called on friend of the podcast Connie Bowen, Founder of Farmhand Ventures. Connie has been both thinking about deploying alternative funding models in agtech. She brings the insight she’s gained from utilizing (and passing) on some of these alternatives, including redeemable equity, to the podcast this week.
