Adam Bergman, Managing Director at EcoTech Capital.

Listen to the full episode to learn about:

  • Capital Strategy Over Hype: Bergman criticizes the “free capital” era, urging AgTech founders to build sustainable, ROI-driven businesses rather than chase unicorn valuations.
  • AgTech ≠ Software: Emphasizes the need for realistic margin expectations and cautions against treating agriculture like high-margin tech sectors.
  • ROI-Driven Innovation: Robotics, automation, and digital tools must be affordable, usable today, and show ROI in under a year to gain farmer adoption.
  • Data is the New Soil: The transition from intuition to precision farming hinges on farmers trusting and utilizing real-time data analytics.
  • FinTech's Role in Ag: Emerging finance models like performance-backed insurance and data-informed lending could transform agricultural investment dynamics.
