Bringing farmers to the table to shape the future of food.

For farmers.
By farmers.
With farmers.

Grow Together is a venture fund that unites innovative farmers with innovative founders and is built by innovative investors. Together, we collaborate with the biggest commercial leaders in food to shape the future of the industry.

A partnership of operators & investors

Built by an experienced grower community and venture investors with real exits.

Grower side

We selectively partner with growers and supply-chain leaders with explicit track records of creativity, risk-taking, and commitment to progress. They aren’t reference calls — they’re at the table shaping what gets built and what gets bought.

Investor side

Our GP includes a multi-decade grower alongside the institutional venture investors of NXP, with a track record of exits in food and ag technology. The same team has already invested in 18 companies across the food and ag stack — and also manages Chipotle’s $150M fund.

The founders

Founders get real customers, real diligence, and real distribution — not just capital. We know what it takes because we’ve done it: our work with Bear Flag Robotics, acquired by John Deere for $250M, is the model we bring to every company we back.

How We Operate

Building the next movement in food starting with agriculture

By aligning capital, collaboration, and practical on-farm validation, we help turn promising ideas into proven solutions that shape the industry while ensuring aligned economic incentives for all.

Grower-led insight

Growers surface the real pain points. Their experience guides what matters, what works, and what deserves to scale. This compresses the path to product market fit and helps founders build for real demand, not theoretical markets.

Real-world validation

Trials happen on real farms with real operators who experience the problems every day. This creates trustworthy data, faster learning cycles, and early commercial relationships that matter.

Shared economic upside

When growers participate as investors, customers, and early validators, the value they help create flows back to them. This shifts farmers from being price takers to being partners in the economics of innovation.

Partnership with proven investors

Grow Together is managed by NXP, an experienced venture team with a decade-long track record working across food, agriculture, and deep tech. Farmers are not expected to be investors. Investors are not guessing at ag. Each side brings what it does best.

Our Ethos: Snake-Oil-Free Era

Evolving the economics of what is eaten

Grow Together represents a people-first, almost anti-VC approach to investing. A deal that can be done on a handshake. A level of trust that brings to mind a bygone era of simpler times. Snake-Oil-Free means we back up our words with our actions.

We believe lasting progress in food and agriculture begins with the people closest to the land, yet farmers have long been cut out of the economics of the very products they grow. Grow Together exists to change that dynamic. By uniting growers, founders, and investors around shared incentives, we bring farmers into the value creation process early, give them a voice in what gets built, and create meaningful economic opportunity where it has rarely existed.

Growers are no longer price takers. They are co-creators in shaping what is grown, what is adopted, and ultimately what is eaten.

Grow Together is an NXP fund, separately managed by professional investors — a distinction from regional ag investors without institutional venture experience.
