Financing & Milestones
2020 was a defining year at ClearLeaf. We structured our Company and our Value Proposition in order to be ready to open new markets for GotaBlanca® around the world and have started acquiring distribution, clients and new opportunities. Our Seed Round met with the success we were hoping for and we are very excited to be preparing to close our Seed Plus Round.
The Agtech business is booming.
Early stage investors (particularly venture capital) have invested $4 billion in Agtech startups each of the past three three years, according to Crunchbase data.
According to statistics from AgroPages, there were around 60 M&A transactions in 2020, involving crop protection, crop nutrition, seeds and traits, as well as precision farming, representing a small drop compared to the 80 transactions in 2019. Global food and agriculture fund managers are estimated to hold about $130 billion in assets under management, which is driving a surge in investments as well as a shift in thinking.
