We place great emphasis in identifying teams with the potential to create new product categories. We link especially well with those that have a clear vision and are open to fine tune the execution.
We back founders building novel systems for a more sustainable trading. We find that successful building is normally underpinned by a superior ability to navigate existing agrifood supply chains.
We leverage our extensive professional experience in food, agriculture, retail and tech to support founders with challenges to growing their business.
The Newland team believes that there are significant structural tailwinds that are accelerating disruption in these industries.
We like to be one of the first investors in a company, hence we typically invest at pre-seed and seed stage. Companies can be pre-revenue but must have a working MVP or similar.

We spend most of our time with entrepreneurs that are looking to raise their next round. Our screening team will typically take one or two meetings to meet the founders and learn about the context for the opportunity. Companies that best align with our mandate are invited to present in Newland's Pitch Day.
Our Pitch Day typically happens once every quarter. The event offers selected companies the opportunity to present to the wider Newland Syndicate and to be considered for investment.
Post Pitch Day, our screening team will collect indications of interest from syndicate members. When the combined interest meets our minimum threshold, we will move forward with our investment. This process takes two to three weeks to complete.
Newland will appoint a lead to represent the syndicate in dealings with the company. The lead is expected to regularly engage with the entrepreneur and offer Newland platform services to support with business expansion.
Miguel co-founded Newland Syndicate, named one of the world’s most innovative companies in 2022 by Fast Company. He has also co-founded XXX, YYY, and WWW and invested in multiple companies that range from giant international unicorns to small do-good startups.
