Agrolend operates a lending platform that provides credit at the point of sale for agricultural inputs (seeds, crop protection, crop nutrition) using CPR-F contracts signed via farmers’ WhatsApp. The company leverages a distribution network of more than 150 partners—retailers, industries, and cooperatives—and operates in over 15 Brazilian states across crops including soybeans, corn, coffee, sugarcane, fruits, vegetables and livestock. Agrolend finances loans through issuance of time deposits targeted to agribusiness (LCAs) distributed on major investment platforms. The company has nearly $100M in total funding and reports a capital base of approximately $100M following the latest round. Management says the capital increase will let Agrolend expand credit offerings to industries, retailers and cooperatives without raising its leverage ratio, continuing a history of low‑risk growth. Its stated goal is to grow the credit portfolio to $600M and serve about 10,000 small and medium‑sized farmers. Agrolend is a São Paulo-based financial institution that provides credit to small and medium-sized farmers in Brazil through a digital platform. Led by CEO Andre Glezer, the company originates and formalizes loans in a digital environment via smartphone, partnering with input and equipment distributors, industries and agtechs to finance technology. It operates in more than ten Brazilian states across crops and sectors including soybeans, corn, coffee, sugar cane, fruits, livestock and dairy cattle. Agrolend is targeting expansion to serve up to 10,000 small-to-medium sized farmers and increase its loan book to R$2 billion for the 2023/24 crop season. The company expected its loan book to reach R$250 million by the end of 2022 and will increase equity to R$220 million after the Series B. The business combines digital origination with partnerships and capital markets solutions to scale agricultural credit across Brazil. Agrolend offers a 100% digital credit product for small and medium agricultural producers, with a fast, low-friction underwriting process that completes in under five days and typically does not require physical collateral. The company uses advanced technology to enable an innovative credit model focused on financing diverse agricultural productions and investments in equipment and new technologies. Agrolend emphasizes ESG and social impact by targeting underserved producers across more than 10 Brazilian states and roughly 100 municipalities. Founded in December 2020, the startup says it is currently doubling in size every month. The recent capital will support growth of the credit portfolio, expansion of the team, and improvements to the platform and credit model. Management aims to scale the loan book to R$1 billion and reach 5,000 customers within two years. Agrolend offers an online loan origination platform for small and medium-scale farmers, using advanced technology and innovative credit analysis to underwrite loans without physical collateral. The company partners with traditional agricultural inputs players and supply-chain participants to originate loans and reach growers. Loans range from 50,000 to 300,000 Brazilian reals, run for up to one year, and are repaid after harvest; some loans can be issued as soon as 24 hours after request. Agrolend says it offers lower interest rates than traditional banks and operates the entire process digitally. Founded in December 2020 and based in São Paulo, the startup raised seed capital to scale lending and build its team. It plans to structure a fund that will receive and hold originated loans, with Agrolend selling loans to that debt investment vehicle to enable much larger lending capacity.

Leaf is a New York–based startup that ingests farms' unstructured data, standardizes it, and serves it through an API to customers such as crop insurance providers and agtech companies. The company charges customers based on how many acres their data is harvested from and now works with more than 80 companies, including Bayer and Syngenta. Leaf began selling in mid-2021 after reverse-engineering many farm data file types to build its infrastructure layer. The startup recently raised an $11.3 million Series A and plans to use the capital to build out a commercial go-to-market team and scale sales beyond the CEO. Product plans include improving data quality and accuracy to support customers using the data as inputs for AI prediction models. Leaf is also exploring end-to-end offerings that could replace cloud providers for some customers. Based in Los Angeles, Leaf builds a unified farm-data API that lets developers send and receive user-permissioned agricultural data in a consistent, standardized way. Its API is used across use cases including carbon and sustainability tracking, farm management, lending and insurance, biotech, marketplaces, agronomy, traceability, and maintenance forecasting. Companies representing over 200 million acres are already using Leaf’s platform to build and scale products. Leaf says its product eliminates the need to build and maintain multiple integrations and backend infrastructure, accelerating product development timelines. The company raised $5 million in seed financing and plans to use the capital to grow its commercial, customer success, and development teams globally. Leaf also intends to add support for new data types and launch new services such as Field Operations to expand its offerings. Leaf provides a developer-focused API network that connects apps and services to farm data from equipment, sensors, and software platforms. Developers use Leaf’s API to build and scale products including farm management software, lending products, carbon removal marketplaces, outcome-based financing, input and land marketplaces, traceability applications, and equipment maintenance forecasting. The company says its API supports all major agriculture brands and that hundreds of applications and thousands of end users are built on and using Leaf. Leaf was founded in 2018 with a mission to lower barriers to entry in food and agriculture technology by providing developer-friendly farm data infrastructure. The startup raised a $2 million seed round to enhance its products, grow the team, expand its integration network, and engage international markets. Leaf positions itself as infrastructure to improve farmer profitability, environmental outcomes, and accessibility across the food system.
