Jeriko

Jeriko was founded in 2022 and operates out of Paris, dedicating its entire strategy to early-stage agri-food technology companies across Europe. The firm was built to address a structural gap in European venture: abundant scientific talent in agricultural biotechnology, alternative proteins, and precision farming, but a thin layer of dedicated seed-stage capital to help those lab-born innovations reach commercial viability. The firm deploys exclusively at Seed and Start-up stages, writing initial cheques into companies that apply biotechnology, data science, and novel processing techniques to the food supply chain. Target areas span alternative proteins, vertical farming infrastructure, crop genomics, supply-chain logistics software, and bio-based agricultural inputs. Geographic focus covers the European Union and the United Kingdom, with a natural bias toward the French and Benelux agri-tech ecosystems given the firm's Paris base. Direct investments are the primary vehicle; no fund-of-funds or club-deal structures have been disclosed publicly. Jeriko has maintained a deliberately low public profile since launch. Specific portfolio companies, fund sizes, and team composition remain undisclosed in public records as of mid-2026. The firm's domain, jeriko.vc, and its classification as an asset manager targeting European agriculture technology are the primary verifiable anchors. No adjacent vehicles, philanthropic foundations, or co-investment clubs have been identified. Structurally, Jeriko represents a targeted thesis-driven approach to European venture — a single-sector, single-geography, single-stage mandate that departs from the multi-sector generalist model common among Paris-based peers. The firm's architecture suggests a conviction that early-stage agri-food technology in Europe requires dedicated, patient capital rather than opportunistic allocation from larger diversified funds.
