WE'RE REDEFINING THE AGRIFOOD TECH INDUSTRY

We expect all applying startups to have a complete founding team of 2-4 founders, with all crucial skill sets and necessary experience, already in place. Teams must have business level fluency in English OR at least German. Intrapreneurial Teams are free to apply as well – ideally backed up with a corporate sponsor.

Your startup's idea and concept should be truly outstanding, unique, and most importantly, scalable. We're looking for companies and teams that have the potential to disrupt the AgriFood-Tech segment.

We're not looking for startups who want things to come to them easily. We're going to invest 100% into you, so we expect you to have the passion, energy, willingness, and drive to make your startups come to life.

Your startup should ideally be in the pre-seed or seed phase to participate in the acceleration program and later incubation. We also encourage late stage startups (series A and B) to fuel the implementation of their solution within the corporate environment. You could even see us as European bridgehead for your expansion phase.

The RootCamp has a focus on AgriFood-Tech startups providing solutions in, but not limited to, the following target areas: Agriculture Biotechnology; Agribusiness marketplaces; Bioenergy&Biomaterial; Farm Management Software, Farm Robotics; Mechanization & Equipment; Innovative Food & Ingredients; SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS; Green B2B Packaging; LOGISTICS OF AGRICULTURAL OR FOOD PRODUCTS; Novel Farming Systems.

Startups applying to our acceleration program should have acquired less than a total of 1 Million USD in revenue from all sources (Investments, Customer Acquisition, etc). Late Stage Startups are offered to directly start from the implementation phase close to the market or corporate environment.
