Adam Bergman of EcoTech Capital shares insights on AgTech investment, real ROI, and how data and automation are reshaping agriculture.

Key Highlights:

Capital Strategy Over Hype: Bergman criticizes the “free capital” era, urging AgTech founders to build sustainable, ROI-driven businesses rather than chase unicorn valuations.

AgTech ≠ Software: Emphasizes the need for realistic margin expectations and cautions against treating agriculture like high-margin tech sectors.

ROI-Driven Innovation: Robotics, automation, and digital tools must be affordable, usable today, and show ROI in under a year to gain farmer adoption.

Data is the New Soil: The transition from intuition to precision farming hinges on farmers trusting and utilizing real-time data analytics.

FinTech's Role in Ag: Emerging finance models like performance-backed insurance and data-informed lending could transform agricultural investment dynamics.
