Value Factory Ventures invests in promising early-stage (pre-seed and seed) startups developing pioneering, disruptive deep-tech innovations to combat climate change and increase food security. The firm focuses on two interconnected domains — Agri & FoodTech and sustainable/biobased building solutions — believing that agriculture and construction are increasingly intertwined through biobased materials, regenerative farming, and circular innovation. Value Factory backs startups using technologies such as AI, robotics, biotech, blockchain, and drone technology that are commercially scalable and profitable within three to five years. Beyond capital, the team provides hands-on strategic, operational, and technical support — temporarily filling CEO, CFO, or CMO roles and executing end-to-end projects — to take early-stage companies to the next level.
Notable quotes
“At Value Factory Ventures, I have found a place where entrepreneurship, impact, and innovation come together. I strongly believe in making investing more accessible: no complex jargon or vague stories, but pragmatic, down-to-earth, and with the entrepreneurial mindset needed to create real change.”
“The construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, yet we urgently need to build millions of new homes. Struck's AI platform removes one of the biggest barriers to progress: the regulatory complexity that delays sustainable projects and drives up costs. By turning rules into real-time design intelligence, Struck helps make the green transition in construction faster, scalable and achievable. That's exactly what we stand for at Value Factory.”
“We are very pleased with this step; as a management team, we complement and strengthen each other perfectly. Investing requires courage and an entrepreneurial outlook, but also a strong sense of human connection.”
