Funded Agriculture and Farming Startups in Vancouver

AgriFORCE leads with a $35M round closed in January 2025, the largest disclosed amount in the group. Elevated Signals follows with a $6M Series A in February 2024, and Verdi raised a $5M Seed round in May 2025. Three entries — Fresh Prep Foods, Stocky AI, and Aqua Intelligent Technology — list undisclosed amounts, so the capital picture is incomplete.

Five of the 14 rounds are dated to 2025: AgriFORCE (January, $35M), Argo Living Soils (February, $490K), Stocky AI (May, undisclosed), Verdi (May, $5M), and Fresh Prep Foods (July, undisclosed). That puts more than a third of this dataset's activity within roughly the first seven months of 2025.

Nine of the 14 rounds carry a Series Unknown classification, which typically means the stage was not publicly disclosed at the time of the raise. Combined with three fully undisclosed amounts, detailed capital-stack analysis for this segment requires supplementary sourcing beyond public filings.

The 14 companies span soil biology (Argo Living Soils, Miraterra, Lucent BioSciences), crop and farm monitoring software (Elevated Signals, Stocky AI), aquaculture technology (Aqua Intelligent Technology), food production and meal kits (Fresh Prep Foods, Cult Food Science), plant and bionutrient science (Terramera, Vext Science), and controlled-environment agriculture (AgriFORCE). No single sub-sector holds a clear majority.

Two companies used grants: Terramera received $1M in April 2022, and Sentire received $170K in October 2022. Both grants predate all equity rounds in the dataset by at least a year, suggesting grant capital was used at earlier formation stages before equity rounds emerged for other companies in the cohort.

Stocky AI closed a Pre-Seed round in May 2025 and Verdi closed a Seed round the same month — both are the only companies with explicitly early-stage round types. Elevated Signals is the sole confirmed Series A recipient, having raised $6M in February 2024.
