Manuel Gonzalez brings an unusual combination of experiences to AgFunder as a former founder-operator who built a yogurt company in Guadalajara, a senior commercial banker who managed billions in food and ag finance at Rabobank, and the creator of two major corporate innovation platforms (FoodBytes! and TERRA) that connect startups with large institutions. At AgFunder, he focuses on building the global agrifoodtech ecosystem while investing across agtech, food & beverage, and biotech from seed through Series B, backing companies that tackle system-level challenges in the food chain rather than narrow sub-categories.
