iSelect Fund Management

Carter Williams, the firm's founder, leads investment decisions. His professional background includes engineering roles at McDonnell Douglas, founding a software company later acquired by Boeing, and serving as CEO of the agriculture technology firm AgriFood. The firm does not publicly name additional investment committee members or partners.

iSelect identifies specialized venture capital firms operating in its target sectors — primarily food and agriculture, health, and resource efficiency — and commits capital to those funds as a limited partner. Its relationships appear to draw on Carter Williams's industry network, built through his operating and investment experience in food and agriculture technology. Public filings confirm commitments to funds managed by S2G Ventures and Flagship Pioneering, among others.

iSelect functions primarily as a thematic fund-of-funds with a co-investment overlay. The firm raises capital from accredited investors through pooled vehicles and allocates the majority into external venture capital funds. It selectively makes direct co-investments alongside those same fund managers, which allows investors to gain concentrated exposure to individual portfolio companies on top of their diversified fund commitments.

The firm targets food and agriculture technology, health and wellness, and resource efficiency. These sectors reflect Carter Williams's operating background and a thesis that scientifically driven companies addressing global challenges in food security and human health represent overlooked venture opportunities for Midwestern investors.

iSelect invests both ways. Its primary structure is making limited-partner commitments to specialist venture capital funds. On a selective basis, it also executes direct co-investments into individual companies — typically alongside those same fund managers, giving its investor base access to specific deals that complement the diversified fund portfolio.
