AgLaunch365 Challenge

AgTech founders from across the globe are gathering in Memphis to offer solutions to critical farmer-facing challenges. With technologies spanning robotics, biologics, climate-smart, genetics and animal health, these 21 early-stage startups are seeking one of up to 10 spots in AgLaunch365. Startups that made it to AgLaunch365 Challenge were downselected from a broad pool of applicants by farmers, who will hear their pitches and decide who will be participating in AgLaunch365.

“The 21 teams chosen by our farmer members for AgLaunch365 Challenge represent some of the best and brightest early-stage startups that recognize the value that our farmers and unique commercialization approach offer,” said Margaret Oldham, VP of Innovation at AgLaunch. “We are excited to work with our farmers to select the final 10 for the next AgLaunch365 cohort.”

AgLaunch365 provides two-year support from proof of concept through Series A, leveraging its accelerator, farmer-centered business development approach and multi-year farm trials across the U.S. The 50 farmers across the U.S. who provide this support share an equity stake in each startup that goes through AgLaunch365.
