Investing in the future of food.
Food
We are focused on the two
forces radically transforming
the food economy:
Climate and Culture.
of what we eat comes from just
12 crops and 5 animal species.

It is driving the environmental
and health crisis on our planet.
Nowhere are the impacts being felt deeper than
our global food system – from how we grow to
what we eat. The early signs of the shift are clear:
- Multicultural citizens account for nearly all of US population growth.
- There is clear evidence that our current food supply chains are inefficient, wasteful, and environmentally detrimental; 21-37% of GHG emissions is attributable to the food system
- The food system fails to serve many communities across the world - healthy diets are out of reach for nearly 3 billion people.
- By 2050, we will need to feed 10 billion people nutritiously and in a sustainable fashion.
We invest at the intersection of food,
culture, and technology – catalyzing
early stage sustainable businesses
modernizing the food system.
Culture is a key gateway to a more sustainable
and healthy food system. Investing with a lens for
culture will unlock access to a more resilient food
system. Investing with a culture & climate lens
means investing in founders who bring a diverse
set of technologies, crops and flavors to our
plates that facilitate and accelerate the
development of diverse and sustainable solutions
from farm to fork.
We’re at an exciting but crucial point in this fast
moving transformation. One where the highly
industrialized and highly processed food systems
of the past 100 years are clashing with new ideas,
perspectives, innovations, and technologies to
create the polyculture future.
Our team is catalyzing systemic impact and
change in the venture ecosystem across the full
capital stack – from diverse LPs, to diverse GPs, to
the founders we invest in and the businesses that
they build.
Supply Change Capital’s mission is to
invest in this changing future of food.
We depend on just 12 crops and five livestock species for nearly three-quarters of our diet. In the US, the human and environmental health costs linked to our consolidated food system exceed $1.5 trillion annually.
For Supply Change Capital,
these systemic failures are an opportunity
There are two forces radically transforming our food system:
Climate
Environment
Health
