The First Thirty
We've identified one of the largest value gaps in society. Healthcare systems globally are overwhelmed by preventable chronic disease, yet agriculture can deliver the same health outcomes 100x more efficiently.
We invest in AgriHealth: Entrepreneurs innovating in agriculture with technology to exploit this gap.
Our portfolio companies enable the largest preventive healthcare system that exists and make traditional healthcare costs obsolete. The result is outlier returns from the transformation of trillion-dollar markets.
Welcome to the AgriHealth Evolution which stars with The First Thirty centimeters of soil.
We owe everything to THE FIRST THIRTY cm of soil
A complex ecosystem that enables the life systems we need to survive and thrive:
clean air, water and food.
Theory of Change
The Challenge: The £8 trillion agriculture and food system and £8 trillion healthcare burden are interconnected yet misaligned. Decades of optimising for yield and volume have degraded health of soils, plants and animals (including humans), driving preventable chronic diseases and reducing mutiple years from our health span.
Our Approach: Invest in the enabling technologies and intelligence platforms that quantify the connections between biological quality and human health outcomes. By making these invisible relationships measurable and monetisable, we transform commodity-driven supply chains into high quality-differentiated markets.
The Impact: A preventative healthcare revolution rooted in agricultural quality, where biological data drives economic value, human vitality, and ecosystem resilience simultaneously. Delivering superior returns while addressing our era's most pressing health challenges.

What we look for
Systems-Level Expertise
We back teams with deep, cross-disciplinary knowledge scientific, commercial, and contextual. Founders who understand the complex dynamics of food, health, and ecological systems and know how to navigate them
Nature-Aligned Advantage
We look for companies that work with, not against, living systems. The strongest competitive edge comes from amplifying nature’s health, not extracting from it.
Scalable by Design
Solving for planetary and human health demands solutions that scale rapidly, efficiently, and with minimal resource intensity. We invest in models built to grow without compromising integrity.
Intelligence Through Measurement
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. We seek businesses that rigorously quantify biological, health, and impact outcomes guiding better decisions and building trust along the way.
Technology Meets Ancient Intelligence
We invest in platforms that unlock nature’s deep intelligence using modern tools whether through data, sensors, AI, or biological computation. The goal: to regenerate, not just optimise.
Where Health Creates Value
We look for ventures that align economic success with improved health outcomes for people and planet. Regeneration must be not only measurable, but profitable.
