Why do we think the Food & Beverage industry is worth investing in?For decades, the levels of hunger in the world had been declining, but that is not true anymore. The number of undernourished people has been on the rise since 2015. We are facing an unprecedented situation that requires innovation throughout the food supply chain and higher food quality to ensure that the assumption that "everyone should eat" is fulfilled and remains. Even when food and agriculture is a 5 trillion industry, accounts for 10% of consumer spend and represents almost 40% of employment; it is outdated and is still one of the least innovated and digitalized sectors of the economy. We believe that its characteristics of constant growth and resiliency, combined with innovative products, solutions, and technologies, can revolutionize some categories that will experience exponential growth in the coming years.

What are our investment criteria?We look for innovations throughout the entire food & beverage supply chain, from the field to the consumer: Consumer packaged goods, new ingredients and flavors, alternative proteins, production technology, tech for health and value chain optimization. We look for highly capable founders and experienced teams in developing innovation, building brands, growing food companies; and with whom we share the same values and vision. We prefer companies with a commercial focus in the USA and able to create supply efficiencies with our relationships in Mexico.
