Startups can receive up to $500 thousand in investment from AgroVentures
The AgroVentures venture fund was established by "Agrobank" in accordance with Presidential Decree No. PQ-99 dated March 13, 2026. The fund supports startups in the agricultural sector, finances promising ideas, and helps implement them into practice.
The corporate accelerator is one of the practical initiatives in this direction. During the 12-week program, teams will test their products in real-world conditions together with "Agrobank" divisions and its small and medium business clients.
Startups that successfully complete the program will have the opportunity to attract investments ranging from $25 thousand to $500 thousand from AgroVentures. The program is being launched in partnership with AI Station.
An experienced manager will be assigned to each team by "Agrobank". They will assist the startup in implementing a pilot project with the bank and its clients.
Participants will have the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills, and experience through mentorship from experts in business and agribusiness, banking, and IT throughout the program. The program includes international masterclasses, practical regional workshops, and one-on-one meetings with mentors. The sessions will focus on bringing the product to market, developing sales, building a financial model, and preparing presentations for investors.
Among the international mentors are Chris Sangos, founder of Talos Capital, who has worked at Microsoft and Intel, and Manfred Tropper, CEO of Mantro.
At the conclusion of the accelerator, teams will present their products and pilot results to "Agrobank" leadership, investors, and partners at the Demo Day event.
Participation in the program is free.
No equity or percentage of revenue is required from the startups for participation.
