Meet Sarah Nolet, Co-founder and General Partner of Tenacious Ventures, Australiaโs first agri-food tech VC fund.
In conversation with our founder Radhika Bajoria, Sarah shared about how she created an impact-based fund to fuel innovation and technological advancements that create an impact towards sustainability and climate change mitigation.
She has invested in innovative agri-food tech startups like,
1. azaneo - it has developed an appliance that uses pulsed electrification to manage weeds without any chemical inputs
2. GOTERRA - an organic waste management solution that uses insects to process food waste
3. Vow Food Co., ltd. - they are reinventing food by creating delicious meat from cultivated cells
4. RapidAIM Pty Ltd - provides accurate region-to-farm pest detection and forecast in real-time
Sarah also shared her journey of finding a co-founder, and how choosing the right co-founder helps to grow a business exponentially.
