Generation Food Rural Partners, a Big Idea Ventures fund, is an inception stage venture fund focused on commercializing university-developed intellectual property in food, protein, and agriculture technologies. We partner with leading research universities and institutions across the United States to launch new companies with strategic, commercial-ready innovations at their core. We recruit seasoned management teams, provide seed stage and follow-on capital, and bring support from our network of strategic partners to each new company from inception. All of our companies are located in rural America. Seven companies have been created and are in various stages of development.
