Our offer, years in the making

AgroStart is BASF’s platform to create meaningful partnerships with start-ups developing new, digital solutions for agriculture. We launched AgroStart in 2016 based on a conviction that farmers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders must join forces to solve the immense challenges facing our food system. Since then, we have met hundreds of ambitious founders and formed deep, long-lasting relationships with many. That journey has helped us hone a unique partnership experience for start-ups built on a foundation of transparency, optimism and the following offers:

Expert Consultation

Ask us anything. Really! Our experts’ time, energy and know-how become part of your team. We also recognize brute force is sometimes required – not to worry, we have boots and gloves, too.

Solution Validation

We are makers (just like you) who invest in a global network of lab facilities and pilot farms. We share these resources, along with financial support, to put your emerging product or service to the test.

Customer Access

Success for us is more than a proof-of-concept; it's a live solution delivering value to customers. We connect you to local markets for rapid feedback, but also internationally to support your ambitions at scale.

Data Access

These days, data is as important to farming as dirt under your nails. We collect it from every link in the value chain, and offer your devs access to our APIs and affiliated technical support.

AgroStart is for those who think big

If you subscribe to 10x thinking and believe your digital-first company is an epic business opportunity that will also positively impact billions; AgroStart is for you!

Our ideal partner is already venture-backed and has an existing solution(s) and customer base in these target areas. But AgroStart accepts interest from all visionaries, and keeps a broad network of friends for referral.
