Funded Agriculture and Farming Startups in San Francisco
The 22 agriculture and farming companies based in San Francisco in this dataset raised across a span from November 2020 through November 2025.
The 22 agriculture and farming companies based in San Francisco in this dataset raised across a span from November 2020 through November 2025. Series B was the most common round type — 10 of the 22 companies reached that stage, with four closing at or above $100M: Afresh at $115M (August 2022), Wildtype and Silo each at $100M, and Charm Industrial at $100M (June 2023). Funding activity peaked sharply in 2022, which alone accounts for nine rounds, before tapering to six in 2023 and six more across 2024–2025.
The segment is notably diverse. Carbon sequestration and forestry credits appear in Pachama, NCX, Charm Industrial, and Better Place Forests. Produce logistics and fresh food supply chains run through Afresh, Silo, and Full Harvest. Field robotics and precision agriculture are represented by Agtonomy, FarmWise, and Neatleaf. Wildtype and Aquabyte sit in cultivated protein and aquaculture, respectively. The two most recent rounds — Agtonomy's $18M Series B (October 2025) and Bindwell's $6M Seed (November 2025) — indicate continued early-stage formation despite a broader slowdown from the 2022 peak.
