Call For Applications: FastForward Livestock-Tech Startups Incubator Program(up to $100k cash)
Fast Forward Venture Studios has partnered with GIZ’s Scaling digital agriculture innovations through start-ups (SAIS) to incubate and validate commercial sustainable livestock tech ventures in the earliest days. This is as opposed to grants toward unsustainable ventures in the livestock and allied industries. Our definition of livestock is broad and includes the whole value chain from inputs, feeding, storage, genetics, breeding, vaccines, aquaculture, blue economy, governance, finance, etc.
We will work with you to validate your opportunity to achieve solid unit economics and at least $20k MRR or a similar milestone and invest up to $100k cash in each company in exchange for equity in your startup. We will work with up to 10 startups initially and intend to invest up to $100k cash in at least three companies that hit those milestones after six months. In addition, we will introduce these startups to other investors; local, regional, and global customers as relevant through the GIZ and Fast Forward networks.
