Katrin Burt
Managing Partner
I believe that entrepreneurs and technology innovation have a critical role to play in solving some of the world’s most urgent and complex challenges. The agriculture and food sectors represent vast commercial market opportunities and have the potential to lead meaningful improvements to both the world’s natural environment and to human health.
