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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A working group of founders building the next generation of food and agriculture — from farm-to-fork commerce to on-farm nitrogen production to biological residue management.
Farm-to-fork commerce
The commerce platform for farmers, food hubs, restaurants, and grocers to source and sell direct — the digital backbone of a shorter, buy-direct food system.
On-farm nitrogen
Producing organic nitrogen fertilizer on-farm from air, water, and renewable electricity — scaling a first-of-a-kind facility in California’s Central Valley.
Biological residue management
Re-Gen is a bulletproof biological that converts crop residue into bioavailable NPK — a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizer that pays back on-farm.
Grow Together is an NXP fund, separately managed by professional investors — a distinction from regional ag investors without institutional venture experience.
