The Food Tech Lab

The Food Tech Lab

The Food Tech Lab operates from Madrid, targeting early-stage AgriFood-Tech startups with a cross-border mandate that links Israeli innovation to European and Latin American markets. Its investment scope spans nutrition and health, alternative protein, circular economy, and agtech — with a strict focus on B2B scalable technologies. The firm typically enters at seed and Series A stages, placing €100k to €1.5M per deal and taking board representation as standard practice. Confirmed portfolio exposure runs across multiple agri-food-tech verticals, though individual company names remain undisclosed in public records. The firm's strategy favors direct co-investments and special purpose vehicles, concentrating on technologies that sit at the convergence of AI/ML, biotech, and ESG frameworks. Geographic emphasis rests on Europe and the broader Middle East & Central Asia corridor, reflecting a sourcing model built around Israeli startup density and downstream commercial pathways into Iberia and Latin America. Team size and total deployment figures are not publicly reported. The firm has not disclosed additional offices, adjacent vehicles, or philanthropic structures as of the latest available data. No dated operational events from the past 24 months — such as fund closes, senior hires, or platform expansions — have been verified through primary or named secondary sources. The firm's structural distinction lies in its corridor strategy: Israel as the innovation engine, Spain as the regulatory and commercial bridge, and Latin America as the scaling market. This tri-continental architecture is unusual among agri-food-tech investors, most of whom operate within a single geographic bloc. The model relies on deep local partnerships rather than a dispersed global footprint, making sector-specific connectivity the core of its competitive posture.
