Sarah Nollet is a co-founder of Tenacious Ventures, a venture firm focused on agriculture's role in addressing climate change.

With her co-founder, Jay Matthew Pryor, Tenacious Ventures backs early stage startups who are building

tomorrow's agri-food system. We love their open and empathetic approach to sharing the journey

of building Tenacious Ventures through their blogs and podcasts, making Sarah a perfect guess for

our Transparent VC podcast. Tribe has a co-investment with Tenacious in Swarm, a Queensland

headquartered autonomous farming robot that

is scaling internationally and we 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 AgTech So What Podcast,

telling the stories of the innovators building

the agri-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 million target,

and we think they are well worth a chat

for sophisticated investors looking for ag tech exposure.

In this episode, you'll hear Sarah's deep passion and expertise for the sector,

and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoy the discussion.

Sarah, thanks so much for joining us. Really appreciate it.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

To kick off, could you tell us where sort of tenacious ventures came from?
