OUR EXPERTISE
Our Ag Tech Expertise
AgTech is a critical pillar to modern agribusiness, helping producers boost productivity, manage risk, and operate more sustainably amid rising input costs, climate volatility, and labor constraints. Advances in precision agriculture, biologicals and advanced crop inputs, animal nutrition and health technologies, farm management software, and automation and robotics are are transforming agribusiness into a more data-driven, resilient, and scalable system capable of meeting growing global demand.
Westerra understands the importance of technology in modern farming and has been an early mover into the category. Our expertise spans all stages from venture to growth to late stage to mid-market. We have strong experience successfully executing mergers and acquisitions and large capital raises in AgTech due to our deep relationships with leading AgTech strategics, as well as venture capital investors, private equity investors and global institutional investors.
