Sector specific knowledge and validation is crucial in early-stage investments. 🤓 Patient capital is also very useful when you are building in the agricultural space, which has other return timelines than tech. 🌳 Great to see Impact Loop cover the Agrifood space! 🙌

"Go big or go home!" There are other ways of building good, profitable businesses. Venture capital is not a one size fits all. Especially not in food. 🦄 🦓 🐪 Christian von Essen asked about my thoughts on Smallhold's Post Mortem for Impact Loop. (I told him to watch the "WeCrashed" series, it's hilarious and totally cringe for everyone who ever worked in VC/startups) 🤑 We need capital going towards sustainability, agrifood system change, regeneration, circularity, etc.. But what type of capital? What timing? Seems like crash is imminent if we apply the old models of building the new, in the same unsustainable way... How do we scale better, without burning out founders on the way? I'm interested to have this conversation. Who else? 🙋♀️
