We’re hosting a special event directly following the LACI Agriculture & Food Science Cluster Meeting. This event will focus on the investment landscape of the agriculture, food, and water technology space. This intimate speed-networking event will match mentors in the space with a broad range of entrepreneurs, ranging from urban farmers to students and agriculture technology innovator. The mentors will come from a broad set of backgrounds, ranging from Agriculture Tech, Food Technology, Finance, Venture Capital, and Water Technology.

Each mentor will be matched with two to three entrepreneurs, who will spend 10-15 minutes with each group, answering questions about navigating financing and growth within the space. We hope to have enough mentors and applicants so that each entrepreneur will be able to meet with 3-4 mentors.
