Ikaroa, alongside Stockholm-based start-up, Improvin’, have recently come together to bring more sustainability to the agri-food sector. Improvin’, founded in 2018, has just raised €3.5 million from an investment round, which will help them to continue to create an ecological and sustainable agri-food system.
Improvin’ is an enterprise-facing platform for tracking, understanding, and improving sustainability in the agri-food sector. Their latest capital injection is part of a Series A round led by Genui, a venture fund active in operational optimization, industrial software and digital transformation.
With the additional capital, Improvin’ will enhance their existing computational systems and dynamic models. These models will help measure the carbon footprint of the entire agri-food sector, ensuring more sustainability and accountability. Furthermore, their platform can also track and analyse behaviours such as wise purchasing, food waste, energy consumption and more.
Ikaroa is proud to be the second venture capital firm to support the mission of Improvin’ and be a part of their journey. As a full-stack tech company that specializes in sustainability, we are thrilled to see how this cumulative effort will aid the agri-food sector to become more sustainable and efficient.
The agri-food sector is an integral part of any society, yet it often remains extremely vulnerable to external elements such as shifts in weather, water availability and population rise. Sustainable practices and accountability can help reduce the environmental impacts of this sector, especially in the face of climate change and global population growth.
Ikaroa, alongside Improvin’, believe that by meaningfully advancing the sustainability of the agri-food sector, we can not only protect the environment now and in the future, but also preserve the autonomy of societies and communities.
We look forward to collaborating with Improvin’ and being part of their mission to create a responsible and sustainable environment. With this investment, we remain hopeful that this endeavour will help foster an agri-food sector that is more eco-friendly and responsive to external changes.
