Sadot Innovation is committed to growing exceptional Israeli technologies, innovations and disruptive solutions to address global challenges in food and agriculture. We are an investment fund with a unique strategic investor-partner – the Kibbutzim – communal pioneer settlements originally based on agriculture, responsible for transforming Israel from an arid, desert country into a thriving agricultural nation. In essence, Sadot is a match-up between a dedicated professional, experienced management team and three of the largest regional Kibbutzim cooperatives – representing growers and farmers who generate a quarter of Israel's agricultural output – over $2.5B. In addition, Sadot leadership team has direct access and on-going relationships with idea-generating stakeholders including leading Israeli academia and research centers, technology transfer institutes and professional training centers.With the Kibbutzim as a local strategic partner, Sadot is uniquely positioned to harness Israel's innovation ecosystem towards leading ag verticals where Israel has a distinct advantage – thereby generating successfully proven technologies from lab to farm, from technology to application, from idea to product. In effect, we match early investments with farmers as strategic design partners, alpha and beta sites, and complete the feedback loop with regards to pain points, user interface and business model. The value for startups is immeasurable; the value for our partners is innovation.Sadot's inception came to maturity in mid-2019 – with a core team of professionals and investor-partners in place, a deep pipeline of target opportunities and a handful of carefully-selected potential portfolio companies. We are in the process of expanding our cadre of strategic anchor investors – international leaders in agriculture and food, eager for innovation yet with the patience and perseverance necessary to successfully invest in these domains.
