Soilworks

Soilworks builds a vertically integrated B2B portfolio where each operating company both serves the regenerative grazing market and creates demand for the others. Ranchers buy fencing from Powerflex Fence and Range Ward, log grazing data in Pasture Map, sell carbon credits through Grassroots Carbon, and eventually sell beef through Cream Co. Meats or Wholesome Meats. The firm profits when its portfolio companies grow revenue across that chain — from land inputs to meat and credits — rather than charging management fees on outside capital.

Nothing in Soilworks' public disclosures indicates it manages third-party capital. It does not publish an AUM figure and describes itself operationally: 'We invest in and operate high-potential B2B companies across the regenerative value chain' (per soil.works). That structure — a holding company building and buying its own subsidiaries — differs from a traditional fund that raises commitments from limited partners.

According to the firm's own FAQ, founders are not required to stay with the business post-acquisition. Soilworks positions itself as the next growth phase for companies scaling from roughly $0–5 million to $5–20 million in ARR, and states it welcomes founders who want to remain in functional roles such as CTO or CMO (per soil.works).

The firm values businesses on scale and growth, alongside customer base profile, gross margin, profitability, funnel metrics, and market position (per soil.works). Its existing portfolio concentrates on defined B2B niches within the regenerative value chain — physical products, software, processing, and distribution — suggesting it hunts for companies that can plug into its existing suite.

Grassroots Carbon is a Soilworks portfolio company that operates a marketplace for nature-based soil-carbon credits. It connects buyers — typically corporations seeking verified offsets — to ranchers who sequester carbon through regenerative grazing practices, with independent measurement and certification backing the credits.
