Investor Focus Ep 3: Sarah Nolet of Tenacious Ventures

Sarah Nolet is a co-founder of Tenacious Ventures, a venture firm focused on agriculture’s role in addressing climate change. With her co-founder J Matthew Pryor, Tenacious Ventures backs early stage start-ups who are building tomorrow’s agri-food system. 

We love their open and empathetic approach to sharing their journey of building Tenacious Ventures through their blogs and podcasts making Sarah a perfect guest for our Transparent VC podcast. Tribe has a co-investment with Tenacious in SwarmFarm, a Queensland headquarters autonomous farming robot that is scaling internationally, and we’ve very much enjoyed our interactions. 

Sarah holds a Masters in System Design and Management from MIT, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Human Factors Engineering from Tufts University. Sarah is also the host of the AgTech...So What? podcast, telling the stories of the innovators building the food system of the future. 

On the back of their successful raising and deployment of their first fund, Tenacious are currently raising their second fund with a $70 Millon target and we think are well worth a chat for sophisticated investors looking for agtech exposure.

In this episode you’ll hear Sarah’s deep passion and expertise for the sector and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed the discussion.
