iSelect Fund

iSelect Fund primarily invests in sectors such as AgTech, healthcare, and food science, targeting early-stage companies that have raised a minimum of $250,000 and are progressing towards commercialization. The firm’s investment strategy emphasizes technologies that enable better food choices, enhance farm operations, and promote consumer-driven healthcare solutions. iSelect typically participates in Series Seed, A, or B funding rounds but remains open to opportunities across various stages of development.

The firm is particularly interested in innovations that connect agricultural practices with health outcomes, aligning with their distinctive thesis of 'Food is Health.' This approach bridges the gap between two traditionally separate verticals—agtech and healthtech—by focusing on nutrition and metabolic health. iSelect Fund seeks to back founders who are passionate about creating sustainable solutions that address pressing challenges in food and health, making them a valuable partner for startups in these sectors.
